Prerequisites

The following packages are needed to run bocker.

• btrfs-progs
• curl
• iproute2
• iptables
• libcgroup-tools
• util-linux >= 2.25.2
• coreutils >= 7.5

Because most distributions do not ship a new enough version of util-linux you will probably need to grab the sources from here and compile it yourself.

Additionally your system will need to be configured with the following:

• A btrfs filesystem mounted under /var/bocker
• A network bridge called bridge0 and an IP of 10.0.0.1/24
• IP forwarding enabled in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
• A firewall routing traffic from bridge0 to a physical interface.

For ease of use a Vagrantfile is included which will build the needed environment.

Even if you meet the above prerequisites you probably still want to run bocker in a virtual machine. Bocker runs as root and among other things needs to make changes to your network interfaces, routing table, and firewall rules. I can make no guarantees that it won't trash your system.
