Docker does not use LXC as default execution environment anymore. They created their own, called libcontainer¹. But with the new opencontainers movement, the package has been moved to runc². [1] https://github.com/docker/libcontainer [2] https://github.com/opencontainers/runc

It seems pretty close to working. One of the few (or only) issues remaining is this one: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/10184 Basically, docker had to add device support, which it now has, but fuse is explicitly forbidden in libcontainer (https://github.com/docker/libcontainer/blob/164cd807a16e63ed...) A patch to libcontainer or possibly Docker itself should resolve this (volunteers always welcome!)
