dockerc is a CLI tool written in Zig that compiles Docker/OCI container images into standalone portable Linux binaries. The resulting executables embed the container and run it rootlessly, supporting flags like -e and -v similar to docker run.
Use cases
- compile a docker image into a single executable
- distribute CLI tools without requiring docker or pip install
- run containers rootlessly as normal binaries
- package an app image as a portable binary for x86_64 or arm64
- give users an executable instead of docker run instructions
When to choose
- you want to ship a containerized app as a single portable Linux binary
- users should not need Docker or a package manager installed
- you need rootless container execution on Linux
When to avoid
- you need macOS or Windows support (not yet implemented)
- you need full docker run flag coverage
- you target non-Linux platforms
