Since you mentioned Docker yesterday I have looked it up and have learned that it is some type of software packaging standard (I think) that allows conforming software to be transferred easily from one type of OS to another. Is my limited investigation and conclusion broadly correct?
Yes, that's correct.
What distinguishes Docker from, say, the QPKG format is that there is a Docker engine that run Docker containers (in which Sooloos core would be packaged). These containers are isolated from the system (QNAP QTS) on which they run and self-contained in that they include the application (Sooloos core in this case)
and all the required underlying libraries, correct operating system versions and settings, etc. Almost but not quite like a virtual machine would be.
