6 months ago When sandboxie is dockerized, the value and potential that can be produced are unlimited. Just imagine why Windows often reinstalls the system to solve various environmental problems and slows down. It is because after all kinds of software is installed, it destroys the system environment and produces unlimited garbage to slow down the system performance.
If sandboxie implements dockerization, it will bring great convenience to operation and maintenance, and even bring a series of automated operation and maintenance ecology, just like docker to K8s.
Even for individual users, it is also a great convenience. People no longer have to worry about a series of troubles caused by installing office software, and conflicts between software and systems can be easily solved by destroying container instances with one click instead of reinstalling the system.
For some temporary software, you don't have to worry about residual garbage after it is installed into the system. In particular, a lot of rogue software brings unimaginable damage to the system.
The benefit of all this is based on the existence of a native Windows docker service in the world. And sandboxie is the most promising, so don't expect Microsoft to do it. They don't listen to any idea.
At present, all the software images in docker hub are run for Linux, and the docker in Windows is a Linux service running in a virtual machine. Therefore, there is an urgent need to have a native Windows docker service, run existing Windows software, and build Windows docker hub and ecology.
It's you, sandboxie.

Is your feature request related to a problem or use case?
I would like to make a suggestion. As we all know, docker under windows is based on a virtual machine running a linux system, which is very heavy.
Until I discovered that win10 comes with sandbox, a very lightweight shadow system that behaves much like docker under linux and supports simple custom configuration file startup.
But after testing, I found that it didn't satisfy my original idea, because it can only run one instance, and the configuration item is not enough to accomplish the functions required by docker.
I have sent this suggestion to windows's user feedback channel, but so far there has been no message.
Until recently, I found sandboxie-plus, which I think is a good direction. I hope your development team can consider implementing a branch project similar to docker based on it, even if it only supports windows system.
Specifically, the idea is to allow users to start a sandboxie instance by defining a configuration file (similar to docker compose), in which the required software services can be run as needed.
You can refer to the model and principle of docker. I think it will be a great success. I hope to adopt it. Thank you
