People don’t actually do this, right? Docker inside docker inside a VM inside another VM? On windows? Right????

I've seen docker inside a VM before but that was just a dev box for testing

That's super standard for actual infrastructure

That's the most reasonable part of the image

Are you not losing loads of performance by stacking vms like that?

Using Docker in a VM on a Hypervisor is industry standard, using docker inside of docker may be okay for CI purposes but I wouldn't do anything more than that in production if it's not necessary.

The stack from the image above (Windows>WSL> Docker>Minikube>Docker>App) is something you'd use on a dev machine (not a "real", production-like test environment), in which case you don't really care about the performance loss

Isnt that exactly what minikube is? Kubernetes in docker.

I've used docker-in-docker images, but its usually not fun.

I'm pretty sure docker recommends that it runs under WSL when on windows.

Windows itself is technically running in a VM if you have Hyper-V enabled (not quite that simple, but that's a reasonable approximation). Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor which means it runs directly on the underlying physical hardware, and both Windows as well as any VMs you create are running on top of Hyper-V.

Oh that's an interesting tidbit, didn't know that

Yeah, docker in a VM makes sense. Docker in docker in a vm in a vm though?

I've ran Docker in LXC in a KVM before. I used LXC to have multiple containers on a VPS. Then I had to run something that works best with Docker, so I stuck Docker in an LXC.

Could also be a hyper-v layer around Windows "host"

You know how much layers there are under hello.go?

There are even layers within the hardware layer. :)

and of course at the lowest level the particle interactions are all calculated by cueball using rocks in a desert

There are even several layers of transistors. And several energy layers of the electrons

Who's Jane? This is Fedora the Explainer.

It's windows host because it has the unique property of leaking to higher levels of abstraction and leaking to lower levels of abstraction, which is a technological feat that can only come from Microsoft.

TIL go is an interpreted language and runs straight from source code!

obviously the shell script compiles the executable every time the image is run :)

Dora s'appelle Jane en anglais ?!

Non, Dora s'appelle Dora en anglais. The meme is just weird.

Non. Et effectivement Jane ça ferait moins latina. Tous les autres stéréotypes sont là pour apprendre l'espagnol

inb4 it's actually some microcode change introduced to intel management engine

My abstractions are:
- Physical hardware
- Linux
- systemd executing the service
