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.
nix-portable
-
An independent package manager that every hacker deserves
There is also nix-portable (https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable), which is basically a drop-in replacement for normal nix that does everything required for no-root operation by itself when needed. Just put the single binary in your PATH and it's ready.

Docker's deleting Open Source images and here's what you need to know
level (/nix/store/)
Yes, for cache hits to happen it has to be this way as far as I remember.
There is a project called nix-portable though that I've seen some HPC users report success with:

The Determinate Nix Installer
Great work Graham and team, I'll be switching to it on OSX.
I wonder if you took a look at some of the modifications done by portable-nix (https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable), most important ones being:
a) Allowing user to choose the location of the nix folder (for example $HOME/.nix) by using bwrap or proot
- is it possible to install the nix package manager with no root privleges?

Day 15 with silverblue, loving how rock stable the whole system feels! Exactly the kind of distro i've always wanted.
you can install it and forget about it. yeah the major downside is that you need to disable selinux unless you use nix portable.
- I found this

I made a nix-portable integration for direnv for my friend who doesn't want to install nix on his machine 😈
Yeah sadly nix-portable doesn't support macOS because of missing kernel features. They are also thinking about docker fallback though: https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable/issues/23 🤔😋
-
Introducing Riff, a Nix-based tool for automatically providing external dependencies to Rust projects
There is this: https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable but I agree we need an official solution
-
We want to make Nix better
Not entirely true, there are many ways in which you can use a custom location and still take advantage of the binary cache. You can do it with chroot, file system namespaces, bind mounts and so on. There's also a nice user friendly tool that does exactly this [1].

Nix Development Container
This is cool! In a similar vein, it's worth mentioning nix-portable is a thing. Same idea of containerization except it avoids docker. https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable

- Docker considering flatpak and snap apps for Linux (please upvote)

"The docker container stop command is deprecated" - is this true?
Nothing in the road map [Github] returned by searching 'stop'.

How do I get real client IP inside docker container for logging to the database
Further reading online revealed that host network mode is not available for swarm started with docker stack deploy. (Possible related open issue: github link).
-
Serious Question: why use Docker Desktop? (from a Linux user)
Single-click k8s install. Extensions. Init. And there are people who just prefer an app-based experience for their own reasons - I think it was the most "upvoted" request ever on their public roadmap.
-
Ask HN: Is MacBook Pro 14 M1 16/512 still a great choice?
In case you need to run x86 containers: Docker has Rosetta support now but it's buggy.
https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/384
Without Rosetta it uses relatively slow Qemu emulation.

Docker's deleting Open Source images and here's what you need to know
https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/44
So, at the moment, any public organization images are doomed to be lost, if they won't pay.

How's the M2 Max for Docker development?
I've been watching this GitHub issue for damn near 3 years. Filesystem performance is pretty bad, depending on what you're doing. I had to kludge together workarounds to my DX at my last role where we used Docker for development. It was really, really painful and distracting.
