“Hello, Metropolitan Police here. We have a warrant to seize… docker container ab38asdf8765jk on your home server. Go ahead and export its attached volumes and the image. We’ll wait.”


Docker IDs are hexadecimal so that one is invalid. Sorry Met!


That sounds like a you problem, failure to comply will result in forfeiture and imprisonment…

I wouldn’t put it past them… capriciousness in UK policing is a feature not a bug.


I'm gonna be doubly pedantic - that wasn't the container id, that was the actual container name. As a name, it is valid.


I actually did think of that so that's definitely the best kind of correct!
