Is this repository still maintained? #4265
Comments
There's certainly low activity, but I've noticed a contributor requesting changes for a pull request just 4 days ago. |
It would be nice if new maintainers of Docker Machine could be found, since it is still useful sometimes... There is https://github.com/docker/machine/blob/master/MAINTAINERS, but it seems to be outdated too. |
In terms of "Is this project deprecated / abandoned?" - internally at Docker we are not using it very much as far as I know, although it is still recommended for desktop use for Windows 7. There are some PRs being merged still, so no it is not abandoned. My view is that the problem is it tries to be too general, and the scope is very broad. Forcing so many things into the same API is hard work. We have introduced more focused projects such as infrakit for multi host production deployments, linuxkit for a maintainable and extensible replacement for boot2docker, and there are many other external projects that cover related areas. It would be good to understand the use cases people have now for machine, what they prefer over other tools and what they see as missing or needing changing. |
Our current use cases are:
It would be possible to use Docker for Windows (with Windows 10), The easy transfer path to provisioning VMs in the cloud is a bonus, too. |
Hey folks, I'm the primary maintainer of the project. Sorry if I've made it look like it was abandoned, I was gone for a few weeks and am juggling this with a couple other projects, which somewhat explains the month-long silence. |
@shin- : No worries, glad to hear that it is still being maintained! It would be great if some new arrangement could be found to make KVM a more welcome citizen, but I suppose that is more of a discussion to be had ? For the most part, it's enough to do the work in the drivers... It's only occasionally that something new is needed - like
Discussion is probably better off in a different forum. |
@shin- thanks for the feedback! |

Is there an alternative to docker machine? Is this project deprecated / abandoned?
