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:

Krunvm – Create MicroVMs from OCI Images
These specific microVMs are managed by: https://github.com/containers/libkrun#goals-and-non-goals (linked directly to project scopes).
In summary though (others redacted):
# Goals
- Execute Docker Containers as QEMU MicroVMs

Show HN: krunvm – Create and run lightweight VMs from OCI images
The key is that libkrun (https://github.com/containers/libkrun), the library that krunvm uses for running the VMs, as recently integrated support for Hypervisor.framework on ARM64, in addition to KVM.
As for buildah, the Homebrew repo contains a build that includes this PR (https://github.com/containers/storage/pull/811).
What are some alternatives?
container-shell - Starts and attaches a sandboxed shell using docker with access to the current or project directory
firecracker - Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing.
libkrunfw - A dynamic library bundling the guest payload consumed by libkrun
harvester - Open source hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software
slim - Build and run tiny vms from Dockerfiles. Small and sleek.
krunvm - Create microVMs from OCI images
kwarantine - Kwarantine can run strongly isolated containers in a multi-tenant setting
kubevirt - Kubernetes Virtualization API and runtime in order to define and manage virtual machines.
crun - A fast and lightweight fully featured OCI runtime and C library for running 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/
