Congrats on launching! Testing & deployment of stable configs is arguably even more of an issue in embedded development than in web, so I'm sure this will make a lot of people very giddy! Are y'all 100% happy with the technical design assumptions & requirements of Docker, or did you mainly pick it so you could bridge with the existing community (or a bit of both?)

Very good question. We find that we have to add functionality for the embedded world in quite a few cases, and part of the resinOS roadmap is to package that up for the OS. But the base Docker, other than its recently growing size, is a very strong foundation, and one that keeps improving. We're particularly excited about the new security features and in general our approach is that we can move a lot faster by filling the gap between Docker and embedded devices, rather than starting from scratch and building Yet Another Container Engine.
