I get the advantage of transparent source code, a vibrant community supporting amazing projects, first-class support for new concepts and features.

> Personally I would love to see OCI containers supported natively on other operating systems. Currently you get the same VM crapshow on e.g. OpenBSD, except the community is several orders of magnitude smaller, so you don't even get prepackaged solutions.

Talk to your OS vendor. They are the ones who are preventing this from working.



I find it odd that you used both "it's a community project" and "talk to your vendor" in the same reply to address the same concern.


Why? Linux is a community project that is open source, and containers are based on Linux. If you want native support for your proprietary OS then talk to your proprietary OS vendor since they are the one who should be supporting it.


OpenBSD is proprietary?...


OpenBSD already has containerd support. macOS is not based on upstream OpenBSD though.

I've never suggested this at any point.

So what are the leftover steps we'd need to take, from "has containerd support" until "pkg_add docker && rcctl start dockerd && docker run -ti --rm hello-world"?
