Fedora now comes with Docker

Earlier this month, Fedora 23 has been announced for z Systems. Note it comes with Docker packages (e.g. docker-1.7.0-22.gitdcff4e1.fc23.s390x.rpm in the download directory).

DockerCon EU

Should you be at DockerCon Europe 2015 in Barcelona, don't miss to stop by at the IBM booth. I will be there, too (for a cool 10,000 containers demo that the Linux on Power folks prepared, but if you start talking about z Systems, I will of course not stop the discussion).
See you there...

Another Base Image for Docker on z Systems: ClefOS

Neale Ferguson from Sine Nomine Associates has uploaded another base image: ClefOS. ClefOS is technically a CentOS port to z Systems, but since it is not a part of the CentOS organization, it's called ClefOS. The image is brunswickheads/clefos71-base-s390x (available tags listed here), so

docker pull brunswickheads/clefos71-base-s390x

will get you the image. It is yum-enabled, so you can easily install additional packages.

The user page https://hub.docker.com/u/brunswickheads/ provides a pile of nice images on top of ClefOS, so there is more software to play with... worth while checking out!
