datakit

(Unikernel cofounder here) When acquiring our company, Solomon took us to a remote farm in France for a week for an offsite, fed us fantastic food and wine, and the first prototype of that Docker for Mac VM was working by the end of the week! It took a few months to hack together the shell. There's a video of Solomon and the pinãta launch party on my blog ;-) https://anil.recoil.org/notes/cacm-docker-cover#getting-invo... There was a whole other slice of work we did for project Piñata too in the form of datakit (https://github.com/moby/datakit) that was well ahead of its time. I was looking at this archived code again just last week while thinking about agentic git workflows!

For those interested, some of the underlying libraries that make up Docker for Mac (and, I think, Windows) are written in OCaml (or have components written in OCaml): VPNKit[0], DataKit[1] and HyperKit[2] (qcow2 support is implemented in OCaml). 0: https://github.com/moby/vpnkit 1: https://github.com/moby/datakit 2: https://github.com/moby/hyperkit

I believe it’s used by Docker’s (Moby’s?) DataKit product inside Docker for Mac/Windows: https://github.com/moby/datakit/blob/master/README.md

Docker too. https://github.com/moby/datakit https://github.com/moby/vpnkit

Yes, doing this would make it easier to use services like GitHub. For example, DataKit's GitHub bridge service uses webhooks to track changes in GitHub metadata (e.g. the status of branches, tags and PRs) and stores the state in another Git branch. The DataKitCI monitors this branch to know when to build things (and writes the status back there): https://github.com/docker/datakit/tree/master/ci Would be simpler if GitHub offered this data in Git format directly.

It's the latter. As we build up the Docker platform we're spinning out small individual components (the "plumbing") which other products can use and contribute back to. Here are a few of the components we have open-sourced recently: * https://github.com/docker/swarmkit * https://github.com/docker/hyperkit * https://github.com/docker/vpnkit * https://github.com/docker/datakit * https://github.com/docker/containerd * https://github.com/docker/notary * https://github.com/opencontainers/runc * https://github.com/docker/libnetwork * https://github.com/docker/libcompose
