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.
lxd-ui
- LXD UI comparable to proxmox
- LXD-UI is a browser front end for LXD

Ararat is the next-generation container/virtual machine control panel. It is your one-stop shop for single application containers, full system containers, and KVM instances - Github
How does it compare to the LXD dashboard being built by Canonical?
-
LXD-UI project by Canonical is diving into some very interesting Feature capabilities
LXD-UI is a browser frontend for LXD. It enables easy and accessible container and virtual machine management. Targets small and large scale private clouds.

Canonical re-licenses LXD under AGPLv3, slaps a CLA on top
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the post also links the "add Canonical CLA check #12665" [0], and my understanding is that "retain copyright" here is like a typical forum agreement where you going forward must agree to a perpetual worldwide unlimited license to Canonical that they can use as they please per [1]:
>In effect, you’re giving us a licence, but you still own the copyright — so you retain the right to modify your code and use it in other projects.
You explicitly do retain ownership, so you can then take that same code and contribute it elsewhere under any license you wish. The same author could contribute the same patch to both the LXD and the Incus fork. But some might object to being required to allow Canonical to specially license as they want.
So your characterization seems unfair, and then gets kind of nasty at the end:
>The author is pissed off because he can't build custom versions without redistributing the modifications
Incus is a full fork, and Canonical has apparently been taking changes back from it as well as is often the case with such forks where both sides get value from each other. It's perfectly understandable for some folks to be bummed if that's no longer the case, and there is nothing evil about the Apache2 license. There's plenty of history that in OSS going back to the beginning, no need for insinuations or attacks.

Vm and hypervisor
You could consider LXD which lets you easily run both containers and VMs: https://ubuntu.com/lxd

LXD Moves into Canonical
I hope this doesn't affect LXC negatively.
LXC and LXD share plenty of contributors.
https://github.com/lxc/lxc/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/canonical/lxd/graphs/contributors
I use an "unprivileged LXC container" setup on several Debian bullseye hosts. It works fantastic, and each LXC container feels like a real server.
Compare that to Docker's "one-container-one-process" philosophy, reinventing the wheel by awkwardly composing multiple containers.

LXD Has been moved to Canonical

LXD is now under Canonical
The expected changes are: - https://github.com/lxc/lxd will now become https://github.com/canonical/lxd - https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd will disappear and be replaced with a mention directing users to https://ubuntu.com/lxd - The LXD YouTube channel will be handed over to the Canonical team - The LXD section on the LinuxContainers community forum will slowly be sunset in favor of the Ubuntu Discourse forum run by Canonical - The LXD CI infrastructure will be moved under Canonical’s care - Image building for Linux Containers will no longer be relying on systems provided by Canonical, limiting image building to x86_64 and aarch64.
What are some alternatives?
lxd-dashboard - This LXD dashboard is a web-based user interface (GUI) for managing containers and virtual machines through LXD
kubevirt - Kubernetes Virtualization API and runtime in order to define and manage virtual machines.
