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.

Show HN: Youki, a container runtime in Rust, passed the default tests

Youki, a container runtime in Rust, passed all the default tests provided by opencontainers.
What? The current gitignore for https://github.com/utam0k/youki/blob/main/.gitignore, the project made by /u/utam0k and the subject of this post, is exactly two lines:
youki, a container runtime in Rust I'm implementing, passed all the default tests provided by opencontainers. There are still many issues that need to be implemented, but it's getting fun. I think Rust to be a good choice for implementing container utilities. If you are interested, please refer to the motivation section of README for more details. I'd like to hear your opinions.

Experimental implementation of container runtime in Rust
I am implementing the oci-runtime in Rust. Currently, this project is in the experimental stage, but it can run hello-world using docker. https://github.com/utam0k/youki

Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods
This sounds exactly like Singularity http://singularity.hpcng.org/

What is a singularity container and how do I use it?
never used it but a very popular example of a container is docker (that link says what a container is) and singularity just looks like another container flavour (maybe specific to HPCs?)

The re-exec pattern is not the only way you can solve this in Go. I actually rebuilt a container runtime from C to Go (for the HPC market) and we had to solve this problem. We did it by essentially forking before any Go code gets run. Here’s the code for the main binary that actually spawns the container process. It’s half C, half Go. https://github.com/hpcng/singularity/tree/master/cmd/starter
