[Discussion] Implement support for other container runtimes #1469

Open krishjainx opened 3 weeks ago

krishjainx commented 3 weeks ago

Implement container runtime support in the following order:

  1. Incus system containers (LXD)
  2. Bubblewrap
  3. systemd-nspawn

Rationale:

  1. Incus now has OCI support, making it a priority
  2. A solution using Bubblewrap can be developed
  3. nspawn requires dedicated images, which adds complexity to the implementation
  4. This can help distrobox provide better security guarantees
