Ops cmd doesn't work, there are no examples for various containers

Hi Nanovms team

I tried to convert various Docker containers into unikernel images and it just didn’t work.

Is there any page which shows how you can convert X/Y/Z various common Docker images into Unikernel images. Ex: jenkins/jenkins:lts or latest, Elastic ELK containers, etc etc.

The error mesg doesn’t give clear idea where the issue is.

Musl & Glib RELATED issues or Ubuntu vs Other OS bsse os based container issues. Chatgpt etc tools were not able to help and resolve issues as well when I pasted three cmd, errors and tried solutions per chatgpt.

It would be great, to have a self service page ever user can add any docker image, that automation page will show that the process just grabbed the docker, converted it into Unikernel image(s) so we can quick download, test, do PoC work with unikernel images to show the company, team on the use of Unikernels.

Also a page showing, this is how you spin ELK foss stack using Docker container from start to end to end, and doing the same using converted Unikernel images, will greatly help people understand, n raise less support tickets.

I want to present Unikernels benefits using Nanovms so would need help.

There are some docs on:

This works well for simpler images, however, more complex ones might require more explicit knowledge of the application being packaged up - which is the same case as if you were going to make a container out of something that didn’t have one before. So things like env vars, libraries needed, etc.

Jenkins is probably not going to be a good fit since of what it actually does (it is kind of inherently built to run many different commands in a build process).

However, I will say that there are several packages in the ELK stack that have existing packages:
