  • Kubernetes: What It Is, How It Works, and Why It's A Game changer
    5 projects | dev.to | 3 Dec 2022
    Yes, Kubernetes, in fact, relies on a number of other free and open source software packages. As a base, it relies on the Docker container runtime and the CoreOS Linux distribution, and it utilizes other open source projects for a number of its components, such as etcd for distributed key-value storage. The tool's core and control plane are both built in GO programming language, making it a completely Go-based application. Kubernetes itself is an open source project and has been used as a building block for other open source projects.

    Container images become containers at runtime and in the case of Docker containers - images become containers when they run on Docker Engine.
  • What the fuck IS docker desktop?
    2 projects | /r/docker | 2 Sep 2021
    So I'm surprisingly ignorant on this but I'm curious if the full docker command line tool for linux is free and open source. It seems like https://github.com/docker/docker-ce is free and open source, but it's unclear to me if the docker community edition has other components which are not free and open source since this repository is deprecated. If the base verion is free and open source, why don't open source projects just re-implement equivalents of all of the other tools docker is providing at cost, to create a full free and open source suite?

    Well, Docker CE comes with a huge Disclaimer of Warranty (https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/blob/master/LICENSE). I don't think we can complain. "I should have tested it before deploying to production" it's the right thing to say.
  • Freelancers - most common non-PHP backend language clients request?
    1 project | /r/PHP | 20 Apr 2021
    Not sure what you mean by "Go++" that's not really a thing. Docker's engine and tooling is primarily written in Go. You can see a copy of an older version of docker easily at https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/tree/master/components/. A number of other devops tools are written in Go, as are a number of microservices out in the wild.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing docker-ce and compose-cli you can also consider the following projects:

Docker Compose - Define and run multi-container applications with Docker

podman-desktop-companion - Podman desktop companion

masscan - TCP port scanner, spews SYN packets asynchronously, scanning entire Internet in under 5 minutes.

cri-dockerd - dockerd as a compliant Container Runtime Interface for Kubernetes

Moby - The Moby Project - a collaborative project for the container ecosystem to assemble container-based systems

Yacht - A web interface for managing docker containers with an emphasis on templating to provide 1 click deployments. Think of it like a decentralized app store for servers that anyone can make packages for.

engine - This repository is no longer in use. Starting with Docker Engine 20.10, active development, releases, and release-branches can now be found in the upstream https://github.com/moby/moby repository

fargate - Deploy serverless containers to the cloud from your command line

NewsBlur - NewsBlur is a personal news reader that brings people together to talk about the world. A new sound of an old instrument.

ecsk - CLI tool that you can interactively call Amazon ECS APIs (run-task, execute-command, stop-task), copy files between ECS and local, and view logs.

AttackSurfaceAnalyzer - Attack Surface Analyzer can help you analyze your operating system's security configuration for changes during software installation.

mariadb-podman-socket-activation - Demo of a templated systemd user service that runs rootless Podman and starts MariaDB with socket activation
