As I migrate more and more (production) services to Docker, I have a Linux split into two distinct usages.<p>A minimal system as a base image for Docker, and then install by apt or curl (would never, never have used curl for installing software 5 years ago) into a service image. And a second Linux as a base system for running Docker (and nothing else). Start&#x2F;stop is managed by Docker ( &#x2F;Nomad&#x2F;Swarm&#x2F;...). Next step might be moving the base image away from Linux.
