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 for Mac Without Docker Desktop
Just visit the repo: https://github.com/docker/machine It is archived and hasn't had a commit in almost 2.5 years. See also: https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/245

Do a revolution
If you know anything about open-source (I work in CS, maybe you do too), you know it's the wild fucking west. People stop maintaining code all the time and no volunteers pick it up. If you want something built and maintained, you pay for it.

- Is it a bad idea to still use docker+machine for self-hosted runners on AWS? What do you use?

Trying Finch and introduce containerd
Direct use of containerd? containerd? turns out I didn't know anything about container technology. containerd was originally developed by Docker in 2015 as a daemon that provided basic container management capabilities under Docker. containerd's scope has gradually expanded and now seems to cover almost everything in the Docker Engine. For example, nerdctl is a CLI for containerd; the UX is almost identical to the Docker CLI, and Docker Compose is also supported (nerdctl compose).

Docker for Mac Without Docker Desktop
Nerdctl[1] (for containerd) works fine with docker-compose.yml for my purposes (which are not much). The only issue I encountered was with environment variable substitution not working the same as docker-compose, but I didn't look hard for a solution and edited my compose file
1. https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl mine came bundled with Rancher desktop, and 'nerdctl compose up' is all I've needed

K8 cluster and containerd Deployment
I haven't tried it personally but you might be able to export the tar from docker host with docker cli and then load it on containerd host using nerdctl - https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl

Podman, the open source Docker alternative ported to M1 (Apple Silicon) machines
It looks like the real nice thing here is having a formula for QEMU with the ARM patch applied: https://github.com/simnalamburt/qemu/tree/hvf
With this I believe you could also used [nerd](https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl) instead of podman but I haven't tested it yet.

Running Nomad for a Home Server
One area, where containerd didn't had a first class support was CLI. the default containerd CLI "ctr" has a very naive implementation. The reason for that I believe is, containerd as a system was never meant to be consumed by humans, and was designed to be consumed by higher layers e.g. orchestration systems like nomad or k8s. However, with the deprecation of dockershim in k8s, and users moving to containerd, a new docker compatible CLI came out:
https://github.com/AkihiroSuda/nerdctl
If you just have containerd running on your system (with no docker daemon running), you can just install nerdctl and add
alias docker="nerdctl"
to your ~/.bashrc file.
Then you can just run any docker commands the way you used to with docker, and it will run those commands against the containerd API giving you the same CLI experience that you used to have with docker.
