Running Docker on the JVM: A Dream

Running Docker on the JVM: A Dream

It would be quite interesting to see what a 100% pure Java Docker runtime could offer to make integration tests (tests that depend on external systems such as Postgres, RabbitMQ, Redis, etc.) more streamlined and easier to run.

Or now that we can run WebAssembly binaries on the JVM, we should port system/compiled/native programs to WASM and run them on all compatible runtimes.

The runtime would probably be much slower than the native Docker runtime, but should be more than enough for running ephemeral integration testing sessions.

Think JPC on steroids.
