boot2docker
summary
A tiny Linux that runs Docker as its only userland: a 25 megabyte ISO based on Tiny Core Linux that boots in three seconds and runs entirely from RAM so upgrades are replace-the-ISO and reboot. It boots on VM, bare metal or USB, builds with a Dockerfile, and demonstrates running a busybox container live. Project metrics include 250,000+ downloads, ~2,000 GitHub stars, 150 forks, 47 contributors and 16 releases; installers and Docker CLI tooling exist and Hyper-V support is planned.
