Did you consider some less generic name than 'unikernel-runner'? I don't
think the name is reflective of a Docker-specific way to run unikernels. It
will probably end up screwing both those who don't want to use Docker and
those who do want to use it. Reconsidering the name is of course just a
suggestion; what you decide outside of rumpkernel.org is up to you.
The repo name follows the Docker image name, so it's not confusing when
used in context as "FROM xxxx/unikernel-runner" in a Dockerfile. Having
said that, I'm happy to rename the repo to "docker-unikernel-runner" if you
think it'll be less confusing.
Github transparently redirects to the new name, so I've renamed the
repository to 'docker-unikernel-runner', better sooner than later. Thanks
for pointing it out.
I would've simplified that as "unikernel-docker", which to me conveys
the same info. That said, I don't know if Docker has restrictions on
how one is allowed to use the word "docker", or how that would look like
in a Dockerfile. It's actually a bit weird if the common idiom is to
not include "docker" in docker-specific projects.
In any case, now the name is much more reflective of the purpose of the
tool, and at least in my subjective opinion an improvement.
