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.

Lima: A nice way to run Linux VMs on Mac
I recommend having a look at [1] which allows you to run lightweight alpine VMs on MacOS with easy port forwarding, file sharing, and you can easily run docker inside of it and use docker context to target it.

Lightweight Alpine VMs on macOS
I don't see the point of a dedicated tool for this when it is easy enough just to start a Alpine docker container with a couple commands. As this project is just a wrapper for docker and LXD[1] and those tools are already easy enough for the average SWE to interact with, the project seems to just over-complicate an already existing workflow.

LXD containers on macOS at near-native speeds
It uses almost same mounting tech as colima (9p)
Macpine: https://github.com/beringresearch/macpine/blob/71788e9c3c09c...
colima: https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/blob/7ebcf14a69158afa43b2...
So it seems that it has same performance as colima project as well.
As for IO performance, see this colima issue https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/issues/146#issuecomment-1...

LXD containers on macOS at near-native speeds
We're using Multipass + Bravetools (https://github.com/bravetools/bravetools) / Docker to build system/application containers.
I believe multipass uses SSHFS (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/how-to-improve-mounts-perform...) to mount filesystems between the host and the VM. Performance has been excellent.

Learn And Use Lxd System Containers Especially
We've been working on a docker-compose-like system for LXD - https://github.com/bravetools/bravetools and have been shipping products with its declarative yaml configuration. The combination of declarative approach with the benefits of LXD has worked really well.
-
I was suggested to check out LXD since I used a docker/podman container with systemd enabled for a simulation software enviornment. Is LXD a correct option for me?
Could you raise this asn an issue on our github page? Would be easier to support as others could chip in https://github.com/bravetools/bravetools/issues

Resources for creating tiny web server instances
Because some containers require a bespoke configuration, we’re using bravetools (https://github.com/bravetools/bravetools) to automate custom image builds and deployment.
