Hello! And then you for an excellent project!

Is it possible to rename this project to freebsd docker or focker in short? 🙏

Also, do you have a roadmap in case I'd like to dig in and help out?

tianon commented

This isn't my repository, but I'm honestly confused why this project should be named anything Docker related? It's not directly related to Docker -- it's (roughly) a port of https://github.com/opencontainers/runc to FreeBSD (hence the name). 😕

Also, do you have a roadmap in case I'd like to dig in and help out?

You might want to give https://github.com/samuelkarp/runj/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md a read through. 😅

I believe runj is an excellent name for this project. It was quite straightforward to understand it as the FreeBSD counterpart of runc. Besides, Docker is a trademark owned by Docker Inc, therefore using Docker on its name could lead to some issues? IANAL.
Adding to that, Docker is an entire container environment, which is way over the scope of "container runtime", which from my understanding is the case of runj on the regard of BSD Jails.

@tianon and @rochacon are both correct. I do not intend to change the name of the project. Additionally, please review the CONTRIBUTING.md file for my preferences around contribution.

Thanks.
