From Docker Container to Bootable Linux Disk Image

This article details the process of transforming a base Docker container image (e.g., FROM debian:latest) into a fully bootable Linux disk image for a real or virtual machine. It covers the theory of Linux system components (kernel, initrd, userland), compares container and host filesystem structures, and walks through the practical steps, including using `docker export`. The goal is to gain deeper understanding of system internals, with a mention of a practical tool (d2vm).
