My VM is lighter (and safer) than your container

• firecracker-containerd

  11 2,150 5.9 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.

  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:
