Podman vs. Docker: Comparing the Two Containerization Tools – Linode

• colima

  110 16,793 8.2 Go

  Container runtimes on macOS (and Linux) with minimal setup

I'm using Colima ( https://github.com/abiosoft/colima ) and am very happy with it so far.

Here's an article about it: How Colima is a good alternative to Docker Desktop ( https://kumojin.com/en/colima-alternative-docker-desktop/ )

I'm using Colima together with DDEV ( https://ddev.com ) to create and run PHP projects (webserver + db) in containers. Clean, very easy to use, and fast.

  Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers

  

I got fed up with Docker having a "Virtual machine service" using like 4GB of memory (while running no containers) on my 8GB Mac so I investigated what I thought would be "native" (arm64) Lima.

I tried this k8s https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/blob/f7e7addab557da560da7146... example thinking it'd be a thin wrapper around QEMU.

6gb+ usage RAM with nothing deployed lol

The disconnect to me is weird. I'm pretty sure with qemu-system-aarch64, Debian/Alpine don't use more than 100-200mb of RAM sitting idle. Where does 6GB of RAM usage come from?

Not that I think it's a great use of time to optimize for this whatsoever. I just thought it'd be a fun exercise.
