Beyond Docker - A DevOps Engineer's Guide to Container Alternatives
Working with legacy applications that needed full system access taught me that a different way to do containerization is by using LXC/LXD. The focus in system containers, rather than application containers, can be thought of like a light VM rather than what most consider the typical container.

Top 8 Docker Alternatives to Consider in 2025
LXC provides system-level containerization, offering a different approach focused on creating environments that more closely resemble traditional virtual machines.

Top 5 Docker Alternatives for Software Developers in 2024
Linux Container Daemon (LXD) is a container and virtual machine manager developed by Canonical. It provides flexibility by offering a single process for multiple containers. It connects to the Linux container library (LXC) using a REST API. It is an add-on to LXC, providing more features and functionalities.

A Brief History Of Serverless
Docker introduced their new container technology at PyCon 2013. At this time, Docker containers were just a wrapper for Linux Containers but this fundamentally changed the landscape of computing (more on this later).

Opinions on linux? I wanna hear yalls opinion on it, because you can do some cool shit with it, heres my own rice for a basic idea of what random shit you can do w/ it
LXD is a manager for Linux Containers (LXC), which lets me spin up a kind-of lightweight VM for any distro, instantly. I use it to run proprietary software isolated from the rest of my system (such as Steam); disposable environments for trying stuff out, and running software that doesn't jive well with Nixos.

Error: Failed to connect to local LXD: Get "http://unix.socket/1.0": dial unix /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket: connect: no such file or directory
Check this thread on linuxcontainers LXD forum. Half way down Simos points to the eventual solution:
What are some alternatives?
lxd - Powerful system container and virtual machine manager
sysbox - An open-source, next-generation "runc" that empowers rootless containers to run workloads such as Systemd, Docker, Kubernetes, just like VMs.
lxd-probe - Open Source runtime scanner for Linux containers (LXD / LXC), It performs security audit checks based on CIS Linux containers Benchmark specification
images - Browser images for Selenoid and Moon 1.x
packer-plugin-proxmox - Packer plugin for Proxmox Builder
LxdMosaic - Web interface to manage multiple instance of lxd
lxd - Powerful system container and virtual machine manager [Moved to: https://github.com/canonical/lxd]
lxdui - LXDUI is a web UI for the native Linux container technology LXD/LXC
packer-plugin-arm-image - Packer plugin for ARM images
platform-compat - Roslyn analyzer that finds usages of APIs that will throw PlatformNotSupportedException on certain platforms.
dlx - quick dev environments for linux using LXD. Disposable, composable, simple.
