Booting Docker Images over Bittorrent
summary
Implements a BitTorrent-backed union filesystem that mounts a Docker image tar and fetches files on demand, creating a torrent that includes the tar and an index. Uses torrent-stream and a tool called torren Docker to boot a container while only downloading needed files, demonstrating a 540MB image that starts and runs node over a transatlantic connection. Writes go to the local layer, peers seed pieces as containers run, and the image spreads peer to peer.
