Bocker

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.

Features

Container Isolation - Uses Linux kernel namespaces to provide full operating system environment isolation for processes.

Container Image Management - Implements utilities for building custom container images from local configurations.

Remote Image Pulling - Includes a utility to pull specified container images and versions from remote registries.

Container Lifecycle Administration - Implements administrative controls for starting, stopping, and monitoring isolated containers.

Container Runtime Managers - Ships a suite of tools for listing, logging, and removing container runtime instances.

Containerized Execution - Starts isolated environments based on images to execute defined commands.

OCI Container Engines - Implements an OCI-compliant engine for building, saving, and pulling container images.

Bash Container Implementations - Implements a minimal container management tool in Bash using Linux namespaces and cgroups.
