Docker vs Moby: What are the differences?
Docker: Enterprise Container Platform for High-Velocity Innovation. The Docker Platform is the industry-leading container platform for continuous, high-velocity innovation, enabling organizations to seamlessly build and share any application — from legacy to what comes next — and securely run them anywhere; Moby: A new upstream project to break up Docker into independent components. Moby is a project which provides a “Lego set” of dozens of components, the framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems, and a place for all container enthusiasts to experiment and exchange ideas. Docker the product will be assembled from components that are packaged by the Moby project.
Docker belongs to "Virtual Machine Platforms & Containers" category of the tech stack, while Moby can be primarily classified under "Container Tools".
Docker and Moby are both open source tools. Moby with 54K GitHub stars and 15.6K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Docker with 54K GitHub stars and 15.6K GitHub forks.
lxd/lxc and Docker aren't congruent so this comparison needs a more detailed look; but in short I can say: the lxd-integrated administration of storage including zfs with its snapshot capabilities as well as the system container (multi-process) approach of lxc vs. the limited single-process container approach of Docker is the main reason I chose lxd over Docker.
