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.

Docker containers usually still reachable even if bound to 127.0.0.1
rkt (and many other container solutions) was introduced after docker was released and became popular... they even mentioned docker's shortcomings as a motivation for the project creation [0]. It had all the same problems as other replacement software: there were plenty of bugs and missing features, documentation was limited, and there are no community to help you (the announcement explicitly mentions "prototype quality release"). None of those would be fatal if it was significantly better than docker, but it was not -- it was basically the same functionality. So almost no one made the switch. It is closed now [1]
And why "rkt"? There were much better alternative container runtimes. For example Sylabs Singularity [2] -- container-as-a-file, instant mounting, etc... I wish more people knew about it.

ELI5: Why does the FreeBSD community hate Docker and Kubernetes so much?
Docker (and the current generation of OCI runtimes) is rather shitty at host OS isolation too. It may have started well, but over time more capabilities were added for the convenience of developers and at the cost of maintainers. I would personally love if the ecosystem were to shift to more isolated workloads with better HPC support. Singualrity looks promising but still maintains OCI compatibility.
What are some alternatives?
podman - Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.
apptainer - Apptainer: Application containers for Linux
fargate - Deploy serverless containers to the cloud from your command line
singularity-cri - The Singularity implementation of the Kubernetes Container Runtime Interface
amicontained - Container introspection tool. Find out what container runtime is being used as well as features available.
singularity - Singularity has been renamed to Apptainer as part of us moving the project to the Linux Foundation. This repo has been persisted as a snapshot right before the changes.
podman-compose - a script to run docker-compose.yml using podman
warewulf - Warewulf is a stateless and diskless container operating system provisioning system for large clusters of bare metal and/or virtual systems.
buildkit-machine - A proof-of-concept project that makes accessible buildkitd daemon from macOS
ufw-docker - To fix the Docker and UFW security flaw without disabling iptables
1pass - 1Password Linux CLI explorer
