Moby
The Moby Project - a collaborative project for the container ecosystem to assemble container-based systems
Project mention: Docker Engine v28: Hardening Container Networking by Default | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-12Docker networking defaults have been tightened up but per https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/22054#issuecomment-28714...:
the default binding address is still 0.0.0.0.
There are now rules in raw-PREROUTING to drop packets sent from outside the host to container addresses, and to ports mapped to the loopback address. Rules in the filter-FORWARD chain no longer depend on its default policy.

Packer
Packer is a tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration.
For building, I have decided to use packer since it has a lot of examples available online for building common images. However, I don't like the hcl file format due to the limited amount of tooling available for it, so I have decided to use the json configuration syntax. Since I like yaml more than json and since packer doesn't support it natively, the program firstly converts the yaml to a temporary json and then executes packer.

Kind

I strongly recommend keeping it in your toolbox, along with other command-line power tools, such as jq, yq, and mustache. No need to mention Nix, right?

kubeshark
The API traffic analyzer for Kubernetes providing real-time K8s protocol-level visibility, capturing and monitoring all traffic and payloads going in, out and across containers, pods, nodes and clusters. Inspired by Wireshark, purposely built for Kubernetes

Note: Namespaces are a feature of the linux kernel. But Docker allows you to run containers on Windows and Mac... how does that work? The secret is that embedded in the Docker product or Docker engine is a linux subsystem. Docker open-sourced this linux subsystem to a new project: LinuxKit. Being able to run containers on many different platforms is one advantage of using the Docker tooling with containers.

I suggest you build it with https://github.com/ko-build/ko
so you can still have no dockerfile and the irony is not ruined

Project mention: TomWright/dasel: Select, put and delete data from JSON, TOML, YAML, XML and CSV | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-18No HCL support [0] though.

Goscript is an opinionated tool aimed at making scripting in Go more convenient. It was inspired by bitfield/script, which brings functionality similar to Unix pipes to Go. By opinionated, I mean that Goscript embraces Go modules (rather than GOPATH with modules turned off) and uses a dedicated module project for your "scripts". It asks you to update your PATH as part of the setup so that your scripts can be immediately available as system-wide commands. It enables treating Go code like a local script with --exec and shebang options, but encourages reuse by letting you name your commands and then saving them, together with source, in your dedicated Goscript project. Finally, its many options are designed to make the project fade into the background and make writing scripts in Go convenient and easy like your favorite scripting language.
