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.

K8s vs Docker Swarm
So the thing is support for Swarm was delegated to Mirantis, https://www.mirantis.com/blog/mirantis-will-continue-to-support-and-develop-docker-swarm/ since it was delegated very little was done to move forward swarm _> https://github.com/moby/swarmkit/commits/master , docker swarm itself (docker the company) is deprecated https://github.com/docker-archive/classicswarm . I think because there's no way to monetize swarm there's no real push for new features hence my assumption of deprecation.

Swarmlet: A self-hosted, open-source Platform as a Service
This doesn't look that abandoned? https://github.com/moby/swarmkit
Or are you talking about swarm the product (versus docker swarm mode)

Docker 23.0.0 is out
I don’t feel a momentum in Docker Swarm development, seeing pull requests like #3072 sitting idle for half a year, originally from 2016.
-
Looking to containerize a large production scale nodejs app
privileged not being supported is problematic, but there are PRs for it on swarmkit, see https://github.com/moby/swarmkit/pull/3072 - let's see if that gets in.
Yeah, but it seems dozens of users is not enough to really keep Docker Swarm up-to-date. privileged not working in Swarm (issue #1030 from 2016, again pull request #3072 from 2022), configs and secrets not update-able (workaround) and not write-able within container, I find that really annoying.
-
Is docker still the solution for On-Premesis containerization?
It is already in a different repo: moby/swarmkit
The sad thing is there are issues and even pull requests open since 2016, but it seems no one cares anymore. Mirantis bought the Docker Swarm part, but it does not show up as product on their homepage, there seems little development, despite their positive posts. Sometimes Docker employees accept some changes to the repo.

Why docker swarm is not popular as Kubernetes?
Mostly it just needs resource defaults merged and some abstract type support so load balancer config doesn't have to be entirely by labels and I would never shift from it.
-
I’m a software engineer that had to learn ops. I am not always sure how to set thinks properly. Any course / tutorial to follow?
This is your first mistake, imho. Last activity in their github repo is two months ago development has either been paused or halted. Use EKS.

Running Docker based web applications in Hashicorp Nomad with Traefik Load balancing
In previous post, we discussed creating a basic Nomad cluster in the Vultr cloud. Here, we will use the cluster created to deploy a load-balanced sample web app using the service discovery capability of Nomad and its native integration with the Traefik load balancer. The source code is available here for the reference.

Embracing Simplicity: The Advantages of Nomad over Kubernetes
In the rapidly evolving landscape of container orchestration and management, two prominent players have emerged: Kubernetes and HashiCorp's Nomad. While Kubernetes has gained widespread adoption and popularity, Nomad provides a compelling alternative that stands out for its simplicity and efficiency. In this blog post, we'll explore the advantages of using Nomad over Kubernetes and why it might be the right choice for certain use cases.

HashiCorp Vault Forked into OpenBao
I can't discern how many are just those "dependabot" bumps but the 1400 forks show some are active https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/forks?include=active&page... including CircleCI who I would think have a stake in a libre Nomad https://github.com/circleci/nomad/tree/circleci/release-1.5....
Now maybe their goals don't align with the community, and/or they don't want to be in the maintainer business for such a project, but better than nothing

Homebrew deprecate and add caveat for HashiCorp
It worth noting that Nomad UI(a official web admin panel) has log tailing utility built-in so maybe partial work has already been done. The developers may have other concerns.
The related issue is https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10220
Nomad, along with the rest of Hashicorp's flagship products, transitioned to the BUSL-1.1: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/main/LICENSE

HashiCorp Adopts Business Source License
While I do understand the reasoning in their FAQ on the subject (https://www.hashicorp.com/license-faq). I however failed to noticed those intentions in their license text (https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/commit/b3e30b1dfa185d9437...).
Specifically the part in FAQ which says "internal production use is fine", but then license says that "non-production use only" and then "You may make production use of the Licensed Work, provided such use does not include offering the Licensed Work to third parties on a hosted or embedded basis which is competitive with HashiCorp's products.".
IANAL, but even to me this statement is full loopholes. WHO do we consider 3rd party? WHAT do we consider "hosted or embedded basis"? WHEN do we consider it "competitive with Hashicorps products"?
