-VirtualBox to run Docker in a virtual machine on your box, and get the

### What does Docker add to just plain LXC?
-Docker is not a replacement for LXC. “LXC” refers to capabilities of
-the Linux kernel (specifically namespaces and control groups) which
-allow sandboxing processes from one another, and controlling their
-resource allocations. On top of this low-level foundation of kernel
-features, Docker offers a high-level tool with several powerful
-functionalities:
-
- - **Portable deployment across machines:**
- Docker defines a format for bundling an application and all
- its dependencies into a single object which can be transferred
- to any Docker-enabled machine, and executed there with the
- guarantee that the execution environment exposed to the
- application will be the same. LXC implements process
- sandboxing, which is an important pre-requisite for portable
- deployment, but that alone is not enough for portable
- deployment. If you sent me a copy of your application
- installed in a custom LXC configuration, it would almost
- certainly not run on my machine the way it does on yours,
- because it is tied to your machine’s specific configuration:
- networking, storage, logging, distro, etc. Docker defines an
- abstraction for these machine-specific settings, so that the
- exact same Docker container can run - unchanged - on many
- different machines, with many different configurations.
-
- - **Application-centric:**
- Docker is optimized for the deployment of applications, as
- opposed to machines. This is reflected in its API, user
- interface, design philosophy and documentation. By contrast,
- the `lxc` helper scripts focus on
- containers as lightweight machines - basically servers that
- boot faster and need less RAM. We think there’s more to
- containers than just that.
-
- - **Automatic build:**
- Docker includes [*a tool for developers to automatically
- assemble a container from their source
- code*](../reference/builder/#dockerbuilder), with full control
- over application dependencies, build tools, packaging etc.
- They are free to use
- `make, maven, chef, puppet, salt,` Debian
- packages, RPMs, source tarballs, or any combination of the
- above, regardless of the configuration of the machines.
-
- - **Versioning:**
- Docker includes git-like capabilities for tracking successive
- versions of a container, inspecting the diff between versions,
- committing new versions, rolling back etc. The history also
- includes how a container was assembled and by whom, so you get
- full traceability from the production server all the way back
- to the upstream developer. Docker also implements incremental
- uploads and downloads, similar to `git pull`{.docutils
- .literal}, so new versions of a container can be transferred
- by only sending diffs.
-
- - **Component re-use:**
- Any container can be used as a [*“base
- image”*](../terms/image/#base-image-def) to create more
- specialized components. This can be done manually or as part
- of an automated build. For example you can prepare the ideal
- Python environment, and use it as a base for 10 different
- applications. Your ideal Postgresql setup can be re-used for
- all your future projects. And so on.
-
- - **Sharing:**
- Docker has access to a [public registry](http://index.docker.io)
- where thousands of people have uploaded useful containers: anything
- from Redis, CouchDB, Postgres to IRC bouncers to Rails app servers to
- Hadoop to base images for various Linux distros. The
- [*registry*](../reference/api/registry_index_spec/#registryindexspec)
- also includes an official “standard library” of useful
- containers maintained by the Docker team. The registry itself
- is open-source, so anyone can deploy their own registry to
- store and transfer private containers, for internal server
- deployments for example.
-
- - **Tool ecosystem:**
- Docker defines an API for automating and customizing the
- creation and deployment of containers. There are a huge number
- of tools integrating with Docker to extend its capabilities.
- PaaS-like deployment (Dokku, Deis, Flynn), multi-node
- orchestration (Maestro, Salt, Mesos, Openstack Nova),

Docker uses Linux bridge capabilities to provide network connectivity to
containers. The `docker0` bridge interface is
managed by Docker for this purpose. When the Docker daemon starts it :

# Share Directories via Volumes
-## Introduction

A *data volume* is a specially-designated directory within one or more
containers that bypasses the [*Union File
System*](../../terms/layer/#ufs-def) to provide several useful features
for persistent or shared data:
-- **Data volumes can be shared and reused between containers:**
- This is the feature that makes data volumes so powerful. You can
- use it for anything from hot database upgrades to custom backup or
- replication tools. See the example below.
-- **Changes to a data volume are made directly:**
- Without the overhead of a copy-on-write mechanism. This is good for
- very large files.
-- **Changes to a data volume will not be included at the next commit:**
- Because they are not recorded as regular filesystem changes in the
- top layer of the [*Union File System*](../../terms/layer/#ufs-def)
-- **Volumes persist until no containers use them:**
- As they are a reference counted resource. The container does not need to be
- running to share its volumes, but running it can help protect it
- against accidental removal via `docker rm`.
