It would be nice to have Docker packages in Gentoo instrumented for rootless mode. All the plumbing is already there, and I have been running Docker rootless on two of my systems without issues since early August. As far as I can tell all that would have to be done here is: * RDEPEND on sys-apps/rootlesskit (required) and app-containers/slirp4netns (rootlesskit supports other network stacks as well but slirp4netns is the default one, upstream recommend it for most uses, and unlike e.g. lxc-user-nic is essentially zero-setup) * install ${S}/contrib/dockerd-rootless.sh into the same directory as dockerd itself * install ${S}/contrib/dockerd-rootless-setup.sh It might also make sense to add a post-install message telling the users what to do afterwards.
CCing Rahil in case he's interested.
I'm fixing this in 27.2.0. The change I'm making is to symlink the dockerd-rootless* scripts into /usr/bin and to add optfeature comments about installing the external packages since they would be optional runtime dependencies.
