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.

Nginx Unit – Universal web app server
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.

Jenkins Agents On Kubernetes
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):

Python + containerd? Who might be interested?
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

How to own your own Docker Registry address
Nerdctl/containerd has IPFS support :)

DockerHub replacement stratagy and options
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...).

Podman <-> Docker switch?
Why not give ContainerD / nerdctl a go. For the most part, you swap out the docker binary for nerdctl and most all the commands just work. And it supports compose

Install Docker in steamOS
containerd + nerdctl
- kubectl get nodes -o wide shows containerd runtime, but sudo ctr containers list doesn't return any containers on host

Docker is dead?!? Podman - an alternative tool?
Lima - short for Linux virtual machines - is mainly used as an alternative for MacOS in this context and comes with QEMU (a hypervisor), containerd and nerdctl.

Setting up Kubernetes on WSL 2
FYI for systemd under WSL2 on Windows 10 you'll want https://github.com/arkane-systems/genie

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

WSL2 can now mount Linux ext4 disks directly
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)

Docker desktop (Windows) alternatives?
What if you use https://github.com/arkane-systems/genie?
-
Docker for Mac M1 RC
There's this for running systemd inside WSL2: https://github.com/arkane-systems/genie
What are some alternatives?
