Container Linux provides no package manager as a way for distributing payload applications, requiring instead all applications to run inside their containers.

Unraid utilizes Docker to allow users to create and manage Docker containers to host applications on the system. In doing so, this allows Unraid users to host applications that may not support the Unraid operating system directly, could be difficult to install & remove, or may not behave correctly with other applications running on the same system.
