OCI-Container / Docker (coming soon)

Thymis will soon support running in an OCI-Container or Docker container, allowing for more flexible and portable deployment options. This setup will enable you to run the Thymis Controller within a container, making it easier to deploy and manage Thymis on various platforms.

Current Status

This functionality is currently in development and not yet supported. When available, it will be similar to the existing NixOS deployment but with Docker-compatible packaging.

Important Note: Running Docker on Managed Devices

If your goal is to run Docker containers on your Thymis-managed devices (rather than containerizing the Thymis Controller itself), this is already supported through the built-in OCI-Containers module.

The OCI-Containers module allows you to:

• Deploy and manage Docker containers on your devices
• Configure container networking and storage
• Define which applications run in containers

This module is production-ready and can be added directly to your device configurations or tags to enable containerized applications on your devices.
