During review, it was decided to remove `LimitNOFILE` from `docker.service` to rely on the systemd v240 implicit default of `1024:524288`. On supported platforms with systemd prior to v240, packagers will patch the service with an explicit `LimitNOFILE=1024:524288`. - `1024` soft limit is an implicit default, avoiding unexpected breakage. Software that needs a higher limit should request to raise the soft limit for its process. - `524288` hard limit is an implicit default since systemd v240 and is adequate for most processes (_half of the historical limit from `fs.nr_open` of `1048576`_), while 4096 is the implicit default from the kernel (often too low). Individual containers can be started with `--ulimit` when a larger hard limit is required. - The hard limit may not exceed `fs.nr_open` (_which a value of `infinity` will resolve to_). On most systems with systemd v240 or newer, this will resolve to an excessive size of 2^30 (over 1 billion). - When set to `infinity` (usually as the soft limit) software may experience significantly increased resource usage, resulting in a performance regression or runtime failures that are difficult to troubleshoot. - OpenRC current config approach lacks support for different soft/hard limits being set as it adjusts additional limits and `ulimit` does not support mixed usage of `-H` + `-S`. A soft limit of `524288` is not ideal, but 2^19 is much less overhead than 2^30, whilst a hard limit of 4096 would be problematic for Docker.

The Moby Project
Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable and accelerate software containerization.
It provides a "Lego set" of toolkit components, the framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems, and a place for all container enthusiasts and professionals to experiment and exchange ideas. Components include container build tools, a container registry, orchestration tools, a runtime and more, and these can be used as building blocks in conjunction with other tools and projects.
Principles
Moby is an open project guided by strong principles, aiming to be modular, flexible and without too strong an opinion on user experience. It is open to the community to help set its direction.
- Modular: the project includes lots of components that have well-defined functions and APIs that work together.
- Batteries included but swappable: Moby includes enough components to build fully featured container systems, but its modular architecture ensures that most of the components can be swapped by different implementations.
- Usable security: Moby provides secure defaults without compromising usability.
- Developer focused: The APIs are intended to be functional and useful to build powerful tools. They are not necessarily intended as end user tools but as components aimed at developers. Documentation and UX is aimed at developers not end users.
Audience
The Moby Project is intended for engineers, integrators and enthusiasts looking to modify, hack, fix, experiment, invent and build systems based on containers. It is not for people looking for a commercially supported system, but for people who want to work and learn with open source code.
Relationship with Docker
The components and tools in the Moby Project are initially the open source components that Docker and the community have built for the Docker Project. New projects can be added if they fit with the community goals. Docker is committed to using Moby as the upstream for the Docker Product. However, other projects are also encouraged to use Moby as an upstream, and to reuse the components in diverse ways, and all these uses will be treated in the same way. External maintainers and contributors are welcomed.
The Moby project is not intended as a location for support or feature requests for Docker products, but as a place for contributors to work on open source code, fix bugs, and make the code more useful. The releases are supported by the maintainers, community and users, on a best efforts basis only, and are not intended for customers who want enterprise or commercial support; Docker EE is the appropriate product for these use cases.
