Vince, Your confusion is probably caused by the enormous popularity of Docker. At this point most of us hear the word Container and only think of Docker. This is also a huge reason why LXC Containers are nowhere near as popular as Docker containers , no one knows they exist, let alone what they are. *LXC Containers are system containers* *Docker Containers are Application containers* There are generally at least two types of containers: Application containers, and System containers There's a good blog post from Ubuntu that explains it much better than I can. What are Linux containers? <https://ubuntu.com/blog/what-are-linux-containers>
Brief excerpt from the blog post: " Application vs system containers Application containers (such as Docker) are containers running a single process per container. They run stateless types of workloads so that you can ramp up and down as needed – create new containers and delete them at any time. Usually, you don’t need to care about the lifecycle of those containers, as they are meant to be ephemeral. The other type of containers, system containers, are much closer to a virtual or a physical machine. They run a full operating system inside them, and you manage them exactly as you would a virtual or a physical machine. That means you can install packages inside them, you can manage services, define backup policies, monitoring, and all other aspects as you usually would with a virtual machine. These containers are usually very long-lasting. If you need to update them, you can do so with the normal tooling of the Linux distribution you are using. It also means that you will get normal security updates from distributions for those containers, so you wouldn’t need to wait for any image to be published to get the security fixes.
