DAC builds upon open-source specifications, components and tools from the Open Container Initiative (OCI). In particular, it uses crun, a fast, small, OCI-runtime compliant engine that can configure and launch applications containers. As part of the DAC project, a number of new open-source components have been contributed to RDK including:

• Dobby - an embedded-focused OCI container manager https://github.com/rdkcentral/Dobby
• OCIContainer - a Thunder plugin for interacting with Dobby to start/stop and inspect containers https://github.com/rdkcentral/rdkservices/tree/sprint/2009/OCIContainer
• BundleGen - a command-line tool that runs in the cloud to prepare containers for use on specific platforms https://github.com/rdkcentral/BundleGen

The first RDK contributions to be released are Dobby  and OCIContainers. These are the first two components of an end-to-end system that operators can use to adapt, manage and control containers to be suitable for their platform.

For debug builds of Dobby, the DobbyTool binary is installed on the STB. This is a simple command line app that communicates with Dobby directly over dbus to issue common commands. This is very useful for troubleshooting and testing Dobby.

DobbyTool offers the following commands:
