Gentoo in Docker Container
I believe adding a short section on running Gentoo in Docker may be beneficial to many users. This little excerpt is taken from the official docker images repo on github.

Details for Administration of Docker Containers hosted on Gentoo
Please add notes on:

Location of Docker containers in Gentoo file tree
This is not mentioned and obscure to find.

Docker images can rapidly grow large. So this is vital to know for users with limited file space to know where to add additional storage.

How to move Docker containers into and out of Gentoo file tree
How can a Docker container built in Gentoo be moved to another machine that hosts a Docker server?

How can a Docker container be moved from a different machine into a local Gentoo file tree, and started up successfully?

ps, thanks for the terrific notes on getting Docker up and running in Gentoo!

@Russelld: Can you please elaborate? I think you're confusing between containers and images.. Containers are stateless process or an image, you can create an image locally using a Docker file and then upload it to a public or private registry, like Docker HUB, or you can generate a tarball from that Docker file then move it to whatever you like, then use it on that docker server.

Docker Moved?
Docker is now at app-containers/docker instead of app-emulation/docker I'm very new here, should I just edit instances of it to show the new one or? ThellraAK (talk) 08:39, 25 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I submitted an edit reflecting the move, I believe that the changes made are correct, however I could not check everything on the page, especially the Troubleshooting section, and would be grateful if a second pair of eyes could check that it is, in fact, correct.

Registry service?
I think the article should explain what "registry" is or why it is needed. Docker images can run fine without the "registry" service.

 * Thanks for the heads up! Very useful.


 * I've made a rather noncommittal change to avoid pushing anyone to do things that aren't needed, but I don't know enough about this to do more. Any further input would be much appreciated ;) Gentoo_Wiki:Contributor%27s_Guide.
