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.

You get what you Measure: Understanding your applications health with Grafana, Loki and Prometheus
If you want hands-on practice you should have a running Kubernetes cluster (I used MicroK8s for this tutorial) and Helm (see how to install on Installing Helm tutorial). It is important that you understand the basics of these tools to fully understand.

Running workloads at the edge with MicroK8s
MicroK8s is a lightweight, batteries included Kubernetes distribution by Canonical designed for running edge workloads which also happens to be developer-friendly and a great choice for building your own homelab. The following lab covers how to install and run MicroK8s on your own edge node running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, deploy the NGINX web service and exposing your NGINX website to the Internet with SSL/TLS enabled using AWS resources included within the Free Tier.

Canonical Launches MicroCloud to Deploy Your Own "Fully Functional Cloud"
I had the same problem (and there's a github issue about this: https://github.com/canonical/microk8s/issues/2186). I swapped to k3s and the usage was half of what microk8s used.

Cuber: Deploy your apps on Kubernetes easily
microk8s currently has a showstopping issue that makes it guaranteed to have an irrecoverable failure in HA mode. see https://github.com/canonical/microk8s/issues/3227
k0s is better but also has a lot of bugs. it's the closest to vanilla kubernetes among all the distributions.
> like the simplest GPU support
linux users should be ready to install the nvidia device plugin. if they can't do that, they're never going to succeed in running a gpu accelerated application on their cluster anyway.
> like bootstrapping
in my experience, writing all the bootstrap scripts is painful. but now that there's chatgpt, so much of the drudgery as gone away.

Picked up this HP EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF for 60 EUR! Runs OpenBSD like a charm.
They now power my microk8s/x86 cluster (in addition to my 8-node Raspberry Pi4 ARM64 microk8s cluster), microceph cluster and my LXD cluster, and all are configured with WOL, so I can bring up the cluster from any machine in the homelab, on demand.

Colima k8s nix setup
You can run a virtual machine (e.g. lima) from inside a nix-shell, exactly as you would do with a regular shell.

Ask HN: Startup Devs -What's your biggest pain while managing cloud deployments?
for others similarly curious, here's an example of the thing: https://github.com/noop-inc/template-java-spring-boot/blob/m...
they seem to be using the excellent lima <https://github.com/lima-vm/lima#readme> for booting on macOS; I run colima for its containerd and k8s support but strongly recommend both projects $(brew install lima colima)
- macOS 14.4 causes JVM crashes
- Lima launches Linux virtual machines for macOS

Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS
Lima is what I use as well. It's quick and easy to just fire up a VM with default settings, but also very easy to configure with different file sharing options, port forwarding, different linux distributions, etc. (their examples are also pretty good IMO [1]).
In particular I use it to run an amd64 VM, which I need to run a stubborn service for work that doesn't run on arm CPUs.

Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
Lima (1) is a project that packages Linux distros for MacOS and executes them via qemu in the backend. Maybe you could solve your problem by launching one of their vms and inspecting the command line it generates. You might find an option you were missing.

Lima: Linux Virtual Machines on macOS
Github: https://github.com/lima-vm/lima
Lima wraps QEMU in a simple CLI, with neat features for container users, such as filesystem sharing and automatic localhost port forwarding, as well as DNS and proxy propagation for enterprise networks. Rancher Desktop wraps Lima with k3s integration and GUI.
