At this point I need to lean a bit more about the functionality as well as internals of Docker,..

In particular, the need for a given Docker package to be targeted towards a given OS.... in this sense it seems like

Docker packages might need to be either explicitly targeted towards a given version of the Genode OS API, or the emulation of some other OS....i.e. much like your team is pursuing via VirtualBox.... seems like a good approach...

So at this point I figure I should lean a bit more about the design decisions and the strategic alliance that seem to be coalescing around the Docker packaging ecosystem...

I'll let you know what I find...

all the best

although I have personally no plan to go in this direction in the
upcoming months, the idea is interesting. Supporting Docker would
certainly lower the bar for getting potential users hooked up with Genode.

Are you going to investigate this idea any further?
