Boinc Admins are working on native support for Docker/WSL (on Windows), because:
- it's faster
- has access to gpu (VirtualBox cannot)
- easier maintenance
- portability
- smaller images
- etc

This important new function of Boinc enviroment will be introduced in Boinc 9 (the beta of this version will be, probably, released at the end of December, as admins said in the last Boinc Project Call).

It's some time that R@H do not release VirtualBox/Python wus (that are very messed up), but this feature may help A LOT

This sounds like a good thing! Will BOINC be able to run as a service using Docker, and still access the GPU or isn't that possible?

This is one of the targets of BUDA (Boinc Unified Docking App).
