Perhaps we should be looking at integrating ostree and docker then? :)

How would that integration work exactly?

It might make sense for docker to be able to store containers as OSTree commits in addition to tarfiles. But I haven't used it myself. On the HTTP side, OSTree may be less efficient or more efficient than what docker does on the wire for updates; I don't know. Static deltas will help significantly.

This section describes it very briefly: https://people.gnome.org/~walters/ostree/doc/adapting-packag...

Basically this is something you can do on a build server or on a client.
