Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Exploring 5 Docker Alternatives: Containerization Choices for 2024
LXC

Best virtualization solution with Ubuntu 22.04
which is what docker/podman/containerd use. If you want full system emulation look into LXC/LXD.

Opinions on linux? I wanna hear yalls opinion on it, because you can do some cool shit with it, heres my own rice for a basic idea of what random shit you can do w/ it
LXD is a manager for Linux Containers (LXC), which lets me spin up a kind-of lightweight VM for any distro, instantly. I use it to run proprietary software isolated from the rest of my system (such as Steam); disposable environments for trying stuff out, and running software that doesn't jive well with Nixos.

Error: Failed to connect to local LXD: Get "http://unix.socket/1.0": dial unix /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket: connect: no such file or directory
Check this thread on linuxcontainers LXD forum. Half way down Simos points to the eventual solution:
-
Virtualisating my server
I found this website https://linuxcontainers.org/ and I am going to test that out for server just to see how it works.
-
Any good (and up to date) book about LXC/LXC
Up to now the best documentation I have come across is the official one at linuxcontainers.org.
-
Linux without package manager philosophy?
Containers, like LXC or Docker.
-
Installing A Local Kubernetes
After five years managing physical servers, then another four years working with VM clusters, the value of Linux Containers(LXC) and their eventual productization as Docker appealed to me.

Opportunities and Challenges of Technological Evolution in Cloud Native
Docker introduced container images to the technology world, making container images a standardized delivery unit. In fact, before Docker, containerization technology already existed. Let's talk about a more recent technology, LXC (Linux Containers) in 2008. Compared to Docker, LXC is less popular since Docker provides container images, which can be more standardized and more convenient to migrate. Also, Docker created the DockerHub public service, which has become the world's largest container image repository. In addition, containerization technology can also achieve a certain degree of resource isolation, including not only CPU, memory, and other resources isolation, but also network stack isolation, which makes it easier to deploy multiple copies of applications on the same machine.

Reproducing the printer hack of Windows 95
It's still being updated. I don't see anything on the virt-manager homepage or GitHub that would suggest it is deprecated.
https://virt-manager.org/
https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager
It can't do literally everything Qemu/libvirt can do using only the UI, but given that it has escape hatches to directly edit libvirt configurations, and libvirt has escape hatches to directly pass arguments to Qemu, there's very little you can't do with it.

Proxmox VE: Import Wizard for Migrating VMware ESXi VMs
I would love to see a serious comparison (features & performance) between VMWare ESXi, Proxmox VE and let's say a more stock RHEL or Ubuntu. And maybe even include FreeBSD/bhyve.
Because yes, in terms of core functionality it should be in the same ballpark. And in terms of UI, Virtual Machine Manager [0] was not that bad.

Quickemu: Quickly run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux virtual machines
Shout out to https://virt-manager.org/ - works much better for me, supports running qemu on remote systems via ssh. I used to use this all the time for managing bunches of disparate vm hosts and local vms.

Oracle data base
If not, I would just run a CentOS Stream 8 virtual machine using either GNOME Boxes or virt-manager, and set up networking and ssh so you can access the database from the host.

Cockpit: Web-based graphical interface for servers
I'd say it is half-baked webmin. You can only use it with NetworkManager, and if you have an even remotely complex network setup for VMs, NetworkManager usually must be turned off, which makes Cockpit practically unusable. virt-manager [1] is way more powerful for those who like managing VMs with GUI.
