My VM is lighter (and safer) than your container

1. firecracker-containerd

   1 11 2,358 6.8 Go

   firecracker-containerd enables containerd to manage containers as Firecracker microVMs

   

   fly.io uses Firecracker. Firecracker is Open Sourced with an Apache 2 license. It's faster than LightVM mentioned in the post.

   Firecracker also has containerd support (https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker-container...).

   There are a few ways to run Kubernetes with Firecracker, including FireKube.

2. InfluxDB

4. container-shell

   Starts and attaches a sandboxed shell using docker with access to the current or project directory

   

   Not really, you'd still need a proper chroot / etc.

    Convenience of containers, security of virtual machines (by combust-labs)

    

    A Dockerfile is just a file with a bunch of commands to execute and get a working "computer". https://github.com/combust-labs/firebuild is fairly aged translation of the Dockerfile to a VM rootfs.

    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:
