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.

K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes
So, please please solve this request here: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/18...
- Apple Virtualization Framework
- No docker options

Podman vs. Docker: Comparing the Two Containerization Tools – Linode

Then in Rancher Desktop you enable WSL integration as shown here:

New Docker Desktop: Run WASM Applications Alongside Linux Containers in Docker
> docker desktop is pretty dead now that it's got restrictive licensing etc...
It would probably be nice to hear more about why you think this is! I've certainly heard of some having to move away from Docker Desktop.
However, at the scale where you need a license (250 employees or 10 million $ in annual revenue) it's not quite as big of an issue, especially at their current pricing per seat: https://www.docker.com/pricing/
> stick to standard open source tools like Colima etc...
Sticking to open source is a great idea!
I think mentioning that Colima runs on macOS and Linux only at the moment is also a good idea: https://github.com/abiosoft/colima
A large market share of the Docker Desktop installs are Windows in particular (since it's "the one way" how most install Docker nowadays, as opposed to not really needing a GUI or the supporting tools on Linux).
In another comment I mentioned Podman Desktop as a mostly viable alternative: https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop
Then there's also Rancher Desktop as well: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop
Regardless, it's nice to see reputable orgs behind the open source projects as well, which gives a bit more credence to their chances of surviving for the years to come.

Any fully open source docker desktop alternatives?
We evaluated alternatives for docker desktop and will stick to https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop now. It works really good and is fast. The big advantage instead of other competitors is that you can choose dockerd as runtime (so you don’t have to use containerd and nerdctl, which somekind of are drop in replacements - but they are not!)
-
What’s your favorite way to host your own stuff quick & dirty?
Locally it's Rancher Desktop, and in a cloud Azure Container Apps is just awesome.

Confusion about Kubernetes usage at work
I am using Rancher Desktop, but I hollow it out and delete the included node to install k3d :) Now that https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/985 is closed it should be a bit easier, but I didn't have any of the problems these folks mentioned with the workaround.
-
Best solid alternative to minikube+docker desktop that works across Mac OS Intel, M1 and maybe Linux?
We're considering Rancher instead but it doesn't seem to be very mature. One of our devs is already using it and is having this issue: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/1274
-
Docker for Mac Without Docker Desktop
Port forwarding is currently broken if you use dockerd but it will be fixed in the next release or you can run a command to fix it yourself. See https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/12...
It fails to setup some filesystem links because of Unix permissions. You can fix it in command line. See https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/11...
If you put your computer into sleep, the VM time will be out of sync. It's going to be fixed in the next release I believe. It's an old classic bug that happened to me with WSL so it was nice to see it again. https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/83...

Zarf: K8s in Airgapped Environments
Worth noting that if you like ansible, Kubespray has had documented air-gap installation since 2018 https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray/commit/963c3479...

How many of you are running kubernetes on prem?
About 1yr ago I ran k8s with 300 nodes using kube spray https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray . Never had any real issue with it. We did finally move to the cloud though.

Building your own Kubernetes distribution
We build our own distro called Compliant Kubernetes, and we use (a fork of) kubespray to install the base Kubernetes layer. Our distro is entirely open source, so you can use it as a reference, if you want.

Ansible for provisioning nodes
You may want to look at kubespray. They are ansible playbooks for provisioning clusters.

Self-Managed Kubernetes Distributions
No worries! I use AWX with Ansible and love it. For this use case I think that is moving in the direction away from what I'm already using (i.e. more advanced). I don't think I need that level of flexibility when it comes to controlling the lifecycle of K8s nodes. Essentially what I'm looking for is something like managed K8s but leaning more towards the self-managed side to have some more level of control, e.g. easy swapping of the CNI or CSI. Another tricky thing is upgrading nodes, which kubespray has established playbooks for. Upgrading K8s via custom playbooks sounds way over my head right now, I can't see benefit in doing that (for myself personally, of course) over using the kubespray playbooks which are robust.
