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.

Unikraft is a fast, secure and open-source Unikernel Development Kit
It's possible to create an IPSec + firewall based on the Click Modular Router[0] and run this on top of Unikraft[1].

It could make for an interesting tutorial with a full Click-based IPSec router though! :)

Ask HN: How are you using unikernels?
Many unikernel projects were ahead of their time. For example ClickOS [0] is ~7 years old but all its ideas still sound innovative. Someone could build an entire business on top of network function virtualization, using unikernels as an efficient sandboxing mechanism.
I’m not sure why unikernels have not caught on widely. I suspect their time has yet to come for some applications, but at least for NFV and sandboxing, I would bet on solutions using eBPF or XDP with WASM for sandboxing.

Source: https://github.com/kohler/click/blob/6fa978f0188bd0b8a266f65...
Context: This is the source code of the Click Modular Router, a system for implementing packet processing logic with a graph-like DSL. Both primitives, and certain complex logic, are implemented in C++; however, as this has to be able to run as a Linux kernel module, it can't use the C++ standard library, and has its own stdlib.
- Want to borrow that e-book from the library? Sorry, Amazon won’t let you. - Its monopoly is stopping public libraries from lending e-books and audiobooks from Mindy Kaling, Dean Koontz, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Trevor Noah, Andy Weir, Michael Pollan and a whole lot more

Ask HN: How are you using unikernels?
They differ very widely. It's instructive to look at unikraft which is probably the easiest to develop on (IMHO). eg: https://github.com/unikraft/app-helloworld-cpp
Our unikernel (UKL) lets you link your Linux program with the Linux kernel and produces a binary which run in a VM or on baremetal (essentially a custom vmlinuz). It's a bit laborious at the moment, one of many things to fix before release.
What are some alternatives?
unikraft - A next-generation cloud native kernel designed to unlock best-in-class performance, security primitives and efficiency savings.
nanos - A kernel designed to run one and only one application in a virtualized environment
