I'm currently working on better setting up my laptop (running Fedora 23, upgraded from F22) for working with Docker, and hitting a couple of major barriers:
* the default Fedora Workstation partitioning (at least back in F22) heavily favoured "/home" storage over "/" storage (which is sensible for many cases, but markedly less good if you have docker & libvirt putting a lot of content in /var) * http://www.projectatomic.io/docs/docker-storage-recommendation/ not only makes my eyes glaze over, but also assumes your available storage isn't already fully allocated (I haven't encountered it myself yet, but I'm also told that Kubernetes can hit deadlock bugs when running against a Docker daemon using the loopback device rather than devicemapper) In my particular case, I'm in the process of reclaiming the old never-actually-used Windows partition on this system and reallocating that to "/" and docker-storage-setup, but that's not a particularly desirable thing to be asking developers to do to get a solid environment for container based development. So what I'm wondering is whether or not it might make sense for us to explore ways to offer an alternate partitioning scheme for Anaconda that was tailored to container based development, rather than expecting people to reconfigure their system post-installation? (The system reconfiguration instructions would still be desirable, but could hopefully be made less frequently needed, especially in centrally managed environments) Regards, Nick. P.S. You may ask, "Why not just use Vagrant?", and there are a few answers to that: * I shouldn't *need* it on Fedora, so if folks are still finding getting setting up for native container based development too hard, that's a problem to be fixed rather than worked around * it adds yet another layer to my dev environment that can go wrong * my SSD is only 512 GB, so virt images add up * it's a second system for me to have to keep up to date * a proliferation of virt bridges makes the NetworkManager applet more annoying to use (especially when it already has a few wireless networks and VPNs defined) -- Nick Coghlan | [email protected] | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Container-tools mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/container-tools
