Bocker is a minimal container management tool written in Bash that implements core container functionality using Linux namespaces and control groups. It serves as a Linux container manager capable of starting and managing isolated processes and images through low-level kernel features.
The project includes an OCI image tool for pulling, saving, and building container images compatible with industry standards. It further integrates a cgroup resource controller to restrict CPU and memory consumption for isolated processes.
The tool covers the full container lifecycle, including process isolation and image management. This encompasses the ability to build custom images, pull from remote registries, and execute commands within active containers.
