LinuxKit, is a toolkit for building custom minimal, immutable Linux distributions. A toolkit for building secure, portable, and lean operating systems for containers. Designed for building and running clustered applications, including but not limited to container orchestration such as Docker or Kubernetes. Designed from the experience of building Docker Editions, but redesigned as a general-purpose toolkit. Designed to be managed by external tooling, such as Infrakit (renamed to deploykit which has been archived in 2019) or similar tools. Includes a set of longer-term collaborative projects in various stages of development to innovate on kernel and userspace changes, particularly around security.
Features

- Everything is replaceable and customizable
- Immutable infrastructure applied to building Linux distributions
