Commit 7a7357dae1bccc ("LCOW: Implemented support for docker cp + build")
changed `container.BaseFS` from being a string (that could be empty but
can't lead to nil pointer dereference) to containerfs.ContainerFS,
which could be be `nil` and so nil dereference is at least theoretically
possible, which leads to panic (i.e. engine crashes).
Such a panic can be avoided by carefully analysing the source code in all
the places that dereference a variable, to make the variable can't be nil.
Practically, this analisys are impossible as code is constantly
evolving.
Still, we need to avoid panics and crashes. A good way to do so is to
explicitly check that a variable is non-nil, returning an error
otherwise. Even in case such a check looks absolutely redundant,
further changes to the code might make it useful, and having an
extra check is not a big price to pay to avoid a panic.
This commit adds such checks for all the places where it is not obvious
that container.BaseFS is not nil (which in this case means we do not
call daemon.Mount() a few lines earlier).

The Moby Project
Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable and accelerate software containerization.
It provides a "Lego set" of toolkit components, the framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems, and a place for all container enthusiasts and professionals to experiment and exchange ideas. Components include container build tools, a container registry, orchestration tools, a runtime and more, and these can be used as building blocks in conjunction with other tools and projects.
Principles
Moby is an open project guided by strong principles, aiming to be modular, flexible and without too strong an opinion on user experience. It is open to the community to help set its direction.
- Modular: the project includes lots of components that have well-defined functions and APIs that work together.
- Batteries included but swappable: Moby includes enough components to build fully featured container system, but its modular architecture ensures that most of the components can be swapped by different implementations.
- Usable security: Moby provides secure defaults without compromising usability.
- Developer focused: The APIs are intended to be functional and useful to build powerful tools. They are not necessarily intended as end user tools but as components aimed at developers. Documentation and UX is aimed at developers not end users.
Audience
The Moby Project is intended for engineers, integrators and enthusiasts looking to modify, hack, fix, experiment, invent and build systems based on containers. It is not for people looking for a commercially supported system, but for people who want to work and learn with open source code.
Relationship with Docker
The components and tools in the Moby Project are initially the open source components that Docker and the community have built for the Docker Project. New projects can be added if they fit with the community goals. Docker is committed to using Moby as the upstream for the Docker Product. However, other projects are also encouraged to use Moby as an upstream, and to reuse the components in diverse ways, and all these uses will be treated in the same way. External maintainers and contributors are welcomed.
The Moby project is not intended as a location for support or feature requests for Docker products, but as a place for contributors to work on open source code, fix bugs, and make the code more useful. The releases are supported by the maintainers, community and users, on a best efforts basis only, and are not intended for customers who want enterprise or commercial support; Docker EE is the appropriate product for these use cases.
