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.

Podman Desktop: A Free OSS Alternative to Docker Desktop
You are probably referring to Sysbox (https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox), which I believe will meet your requirements (systemd, inner containers, security, etc).
Btw, Sysbox is already supported in Docker-Desktop (business tier only), so you can easily do what you want with this instruction:
$ docker run -it --rm -e SYSBOX_SYSCONT_MODE=TRUE nestybox/ubuntu-focal-systemd-docker:latest bash
Disclaimer: I'm Sysbox's co-creator and currently working for Docker.
- Sysbox: VM-Like Containers
- What companies are using golang and have source code in github?
-
SELinux is unmanageable; just turn it off if it gets in your way
One project in this space that looked quite promising to me is sysbox[0]. I've used them once for a gitlab runner set-up similar to what is described in their blog[1].
It's currently working great and I have not had any major crashes/incidents for at least the past 8 months.

Jenkins in Docker: Running Docker in a Jenkins container
Today, things are very different. Docker-in-Docker has a more secure and safe approach with rootless containers and freemium tools like sysbox. Tools like sysbox let you run Docker-in-Docker without the -privileged flag and optimizes specific scenarios, like running multiple nodes of a Kubernetes cluster as ordinary containers.

Run untrusted code in sandbox
Right now I am going with sysbox rootless containers. https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox

Real-world stories of how we’ve compromised CI/CD pipelines
We’ve been using Sysbox (https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox) for our Buildkite based CI/CD setup, allows docker-in-docker without privileged containers. Paired with careful IAM/STS design we’ve ended up with isolated job containers with their own IAM roles limited to least-privilege.

Individual Docker Desktops vs hosting on a server?
A good alternative to the VM approach is to use Kubernetes + Sysbox (a next-gen "runc", free, open-source).
- Sysbox now works on K8s v1.21
-
Does running a container with privileged mode turn on allow code to escape into the Host ?
But nowadays there is an option to run such software in containers securely. It's called Sysbox, and it's a new "runc" (the piece of software that creates the containers). I am one of the developers, so I am biased, but I think you'll find it helpful.

Exploring 5 Docker Alternatives: Containerization Choices for 2024
LXC

Best virtualization solution with Ubuntu 22.04
which is what docker/podman/containerd use. If you want full system emulation look into LXC/LXD.

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:
-
Virtualisating my server
I found this website https://linuxcontainers.org/ and I am going to test that out for server just to see how it works.
-
Any good (and up to date) book about LXC/LXC
Up to now the best documentation I have come across is the official one at linuxcontainers.org.
-
Linux without package manager philosophy?
Containers, like LXC or Docker.
-
Installing A Local Kubernetes
After five years managing physical servers, then another four years working with VM clusters, the value of Linux Containers(LXC) and their eventual productization as Docker appealed to me.

Opportunities and Challenges of Technological Evolution in Cloud Native
Docker introduced container images to the technology world, making container images a standardized delivery unit. In fact, before Docker, containerization technology already existed. Let's talk about a more recent technology, LXC (Linux Containers) in 2008. Compared to Docker, LXC is less popular since Docker provides container images, which can be more standardized and more convenient to migrate. Also, Docker created the DockerHub public service, which has become the world's largest container image repository. In addition, containerization technology can also achieve a certain degree of resource isolation, including not only CPU, memory, and other resources isolation, but also network stack isolation, which makes it easier to deploy multiple copies of applications on the same machine.
