Docker Without Docker

Docker images are simply compressed tarballs with some metadata. The format is a little complicated to understand because it has many years of path-dependent technical debt baked into it. But this means you can construct them in any way you'd like – you don't need a Docker daemon, installation, or special environment. Package up the files, add the relevant metadata, and you'll be able to push, pull, and run them.
