  • Podman Desktop

    Podman Desktop - A graphical tool for developing on containers and Kubernetes

  • Please share this experience and what went wrong with the postman team. It is the only way things can improve.

    You don’t have to solve the problem. Just state your problem. If you need inspiration, here is an example: https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/issues/868

  • kompose

    Convert Compose to Kubernetes

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • pods

    Keep track of your podman containers

  • If you're using Linux (especially with Gnome), I can highly recommend Pods[1] as a desktop client for Podman. It's much less cluttered than Podman Desktop, but still supports most of its features.

  • docker-install

    Docker installation script

  • On WSL2, you just install Docker the same way as you would do on Linux. `sudo apt install docker.io` (from Debian/Ubuntu repo) or `curl https://get.docker.com | sh` (from Docker Inc). If you are using different WSL distribution, the standard way to install docker should work just fine. (e.g. `sudo pacman -S docker` works as expected on ArchWSL)

  • colima

    Container runtimes on macOS (and Linux) with minimal setup

  • After docker desktop became unusable, I jumped to colima and never looked back. I still use the docker runtime in it (the non-proprietary part) but it also supports containerd. On Mac it's just a "brew install colima" and then "colima start"

    I also install the compose and ecr credentials plug-ins (since I use ecr for my container registry.) It has the full functionality of docker desktop minus the UI, which I never used anyways.

  • podman-compose

    a script to run docker-compose.yml using podman

  • Can someone link me to what Compose means in this context? Google takes me to https://github.com/containers/podman-compose but I just wanna make sure that's what they are talking about.

  • compose-spec

    The Compose specification

  • https://github.com/compose-spec/compose-spec/blob/master/spe...

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • orbstack

    Fast, light, simple Docker containers & Linux machines for macOS

  • For MacOS I can really recommend https://orbstack.dev

    It integrates very nicely, has very low CPU idle usage and also lets you quickly spawn VMs with bidirectional file sharing set up.

    Since I switched I haven't looked back.

  • Docker Compose

    Define and run multi-container applications with Docker

  • podman

    Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.
