nerdctl VS genie

What about the docker-cli? colima also ships with a docker-compatible cli to interact with containerd called nerdctl. We can execute the same docker cli commands like:

Using nerdctl: https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl

I'd really disagree that compose files are somehow one-shot, or blindly modified. To the contrary, really, we have them checked in with the source code. Upon deployment to the cluster, the (running) services will be intelligently updated or replaced (in a rolling manner, causing zero downtime). LXC might be more elegant, but I have no idea what simple, file-based format I could use to let engineers describe the environment their app should run in without compose.

I need something that even junior devs can start up with a single command, that can be placed in the VCS along with the code, and that will not require deep Linux knowledge to get running. Open for suggestions here, really.

Now since Kubernetes works off of containerd I'll be taking a different approach on handling container builds by using nerdctl and the buildkit that comes bundled with it. I'll do this on the amd64 control plane node since it's beefier than my Raspberry Pi workers for handling builds and build related services. Go ahead and download and unpack the latest nerdctl release as of writing (make sure to check the release page in case there's a new one):

That's why nerdctl, their cli binary, is so well named.

Well, it is indeed a good option. However, containerd is a good alternative that is growing even among developers. Please see: https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl

Nerdctl/containerd has IPFS support :)

https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl/blob/main/docs/ipfs.md

nerdctl supports IPFS for both image pulling and pushing, including encrypted images and eStargz lazy pulling. For building, the current method is a locally hosted translator so that the traditional pulls can be converted to work over IPFS. They even have docs on running it on k8s node, though if my reading is correct this isn't exactly a cloud native approach (running systemd services on each node...).

FYI for systemd under WSL2 on Windows 10 you'll want https://github.com/arkane-systems/genie

You can install docker in your Ubuntu WSL instance. If you want to run it automatically you can look at something like genie to provide some systemd support, combine with a startup task to launch it.

updated readme now available at https://github.com/arkane-systems/genie/tree/dev-2.0

I used to run systemd in WSL through https://github.com/arkane-systems/genie and it worked pretty well. Not sure about modules but I found compiling my own kernel with some more features (ext4 encryption support) pretty easy.

(That being said, I'm _extremely_ happy to run Linux natively now and no longer run any Windows)

What if you use https://github.com/arkane-systems/genie?

I am running https://github.com/arkane-systems/genie and it solved me this problem
