Back in 2012 we used to give talks about how we ran all our CI builds in LXC containers, that came about because a bunch of us came from the BSD / Solaris world of jails and it just felt natural.

The folks at infracoders / DevOps meetups would think we were a bit "out there", then what do you know - 2013 rolls around and we quickly started to shift to Docker (too early some might say), but not long after shifting from LXC to Docker it seemed many others finally started to come round to containerisation.

Fast forward to 2026 and I've recently done some work with a client who is only just "getting into containers" (a Windows shop).

Thanks for your early work to bring better containerisation to Linux Solomon. It's funny to think we're 13 years from Dockers release. Time flies.
