reproducible-central VS Moby

It's pretty doable to create reproducible builds with gradle or maven: https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/jvm/

Also, releases on maven central typically include a sources.jar along with the binaries. It's required to provide that as well as javadoc to publish on maven central, I think. They also require jars to be signed and there are some manual checks before they activate your account to verify e.g. domain ownership and metadata of your project. It's not perfect but it's better than what many other packagemanagers do. It's actually a bit of a PITA to setup; I've wasted quite a bit of time getting some stuff published there just trying to figure out their convoluted processes and tools and error messages. This stuff is way too hard in it's current form.

Not all projects that use these build tools are fully reproducible but that is probably pretty easy to fix if people raise awareness of issues around this topic.

There's even a website that tracks reproducibility for some common libraries on maven central: https://github.com/jvm-repo-rebuild/reproducible-central#rea...

If you want to use artififacts produced straight from git hashes, tags, or branches, jitpack.io is pretty neat.

Having been featured in our February 2023, and January 2024 Release Radars, Moby is the original Linux Container runtime. This new version adds a bunch of changes to the Docker CLI and Moby itself with additional features. There's bug fixes and enhancements, with the main thing for users to be on the look out for containers that were created using Docker Engine 25.0.0. These containers might have duplicate MAC addresses, and thus must be recreated. The same goes for those containers created with Moby 25.0+ and with user defined MAC addresses. Read up on all these changes in the release notes.

Formlabs does this as well for their 3d printers, my earliest encounter of this was when Docker started getting popular: https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/pkg/namesgenerator/...

Try to use moby instead since that is the engine in Docker.

> Podman is designed to help with this by providing stronger default security settings compared to Docker. Features like rootless containers, user namespaces, and seccomp profiles, while available in Docker, aren't enabled by default and often require extra setup.

Seccomp has been enabled by default since 2015: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/18780

It is true that Rootless isn't enabled by default but its "extra setup" can be done with a single command (`dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install`)

Perhaps.

Thing is, https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/670bc0a46c4ca03b75f1e72f73... is using https://github.com/mistifyio/go-zfs which features code like `out, err := zfsOutput("get", "-H", key, d.Name)` (Source: https://github.com/mistifyio/go-zfs/blob/master/zfs.go#L315) to get a single zfs property.

Somebody chose to use a library as abstraction that looks good but is implemented as a MVP (nothing wrong with that). "In the future, we hope to work directly with libzfs" should have raised an alarm somewhere, though.
