Structural Architecture

Moby (Docker's open source core) is an incredibly mature Go-based infrastructure. It separates container orchestration algorithms, deeply nested API specs, and strict filesystem daemon hooks.

  • Heavy routing structures encapsulating raw daemon/OS interaction.

Notable Directories

/daemon

The background server interacting intimately with the OS container runtime.

/api

Strict specifications and routing for the daemon APIs accessed by CLIs.

/integration

Massive suite testing daemon robustness against varied underlying hardware kernels.
