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.

My VM is lighter (and safer) than your container
Most should already exist on your mac if you do development... it seems to rely on qemu, unsurprisingly... openjdk as well (probably to support Java out-of-the-box?), imagegick etc.
Took a few minutes to finish installing... the CLI seems to be based on the Docker commands (build, clean, run, 'net create', inspect etc.), some package-manager like commands ('pkg info', 'pkg pull', 'pkg list' etc.), a bunch of "cloud" commands (I suppose that's the non-free part) and "compose" commands just like docker-compose. Interesting stuff.
Not for the parent commenter: the Lua link in the landing page is broken: https://github.com/unikraft/catalog/tree/main/examples/http-...
I tried to run the C hello world example... I get an error, it wants to run Docker?!?! I thought the whole point was to avoid Docker (and containers)??
Here's the log:

Ask HN: What's the most creative 'useless' program you've ever written?
https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild
Build firecracker vmms from dockerfiles. Learned a ton, never did anything with it but I want believe it influenced a bunch of people to look deeper into firecracker.

My VM is lighter (and safer) than your container
A Dockerfile is just a file with a bunch of commands to execute and get a working "computer". https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild is fairly aged translation of the Dockerfile to a VM rootfs.

We clone a running VM in 2 seconds
Regarding turning Dockerfiles into a MicroVM: https://gruchalski.com/posts/2021-03-23-introducing-firebuil..., on GitHub: https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild. This could get you started.

Maybe you need firecracker with something along the lines of https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild?

Hypervisor for multi-tenant computing, like it should be
I was the one who posted that question and I deleted it because I understood I was asking to compare apple to oranges. Firecracker uses KVM under the hood. With regards to the overhead, sure, there's going to be resources needed but firecracker is pretty good at running VMs will low level overhead. We're talking thousands on a single host.
I've done some fair share of evaluating firecracker for https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild and the need to provision is red herring. firebuild can run a VM directly from a Dockerfile and Docker image. Fly.io team does something similar. It's basically a fully functional app out of the container within a matter of milliseconds.
What would be nice is to see a direct comparison between your solution and firecracker.

Docker Without Docker
I am working on something like this: https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild.
From a Dockerfile, it's not as simple without creating an image first.
What are some alternatives?
container-shell - Starts and attaches a sandboxed shell using docker with access to the current or project directory
firecracker-containerd - firecracker-containerd enables containerd to manage containers as Firecracker microVMs
Quark - A secure container runtime with CRI/OCI interface
mariadb-podman-socket-activation - Demo of a templated systemd user service that runs rootless Podman and starts MariaDB with socket activation
libnetwork - networking for containers
kata-containers - Kata Containers is an open source project and community working to build a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) that feel and perform like containers, but provide the workload isolation and security advantages of VMs. https://katacontainers.io/
cloud-hypervisor - A Virtual Machine Monitor for modern Cloud workloads. Features include CPU, memory and device hotplug, support for running Windows and Linux guests, device offload with vhost-user and a minimal compact footprint. Written in Rust with a strong focus on security.
gvisor - Application Kernel for Containers
kubevirt - Kubernetes Virtualization API and runtime in order to define and manage virtual machines.
