Docker is updating and extending our product subscriptions

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • multipass

    Multipass orchestrates virtual Ubuntu instances

  • I believe this is the issue referenced above: https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/1857

  • rancher

    Complete container management platform

  • Seems interesting, but the name conflict with https://rancher.com/ is _very_ confusing. Is Rancher Desktop associated with the linked company?

  • 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.

  • roadmap

    Welcome to the Public Roadmap for All Things Docker! We welcome your ideas. (by docker)

  • Hi, we have requests for Docker Desktop Linux, please upvote https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/39 and we are looking at the details of what we need to do to implement this.

  • wsl-environments

  • I've never had a problem with it. I've been using docker engine in WSL2 for a couple years.

    I install `docker.io` via apt and its good to go except that package has on some ubuntu versions been missing the /etc/init.d/ startup script.

    I build my WSL2 environments via Dockerfile. You can see everything here:

    https://github.com/SeanTAllen/wsl-environments/tree/main/ubu...

    Using that dockerfile I can then export the file system as a tar (https://wiki.seantallen.com/notes/docker-export-filesystem/) and import into wsl using the wsl import command.

  • mockttp

    Powerful friendly HTTP mock server & proxy library

  • Same with Telerik Fiddler recently. Good piece of software for debugging network requests on Windows.

    Was free for as long as I've known it existed. Telerik recently bought by 'Progress' (ironic), software re-written in Electron and now charges a subscription to use it.

    Glad HTTP Toolkit is now available free for most standard tasks - https://httptoolkit.tech/

  • lima

    Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers

  • Thanks for the feedback. A Linux version is in the roadmap for this fall. I've had several discussions on it in the past week.

    Part of this was due to priorities and part of it was technicalities. For example, do we put it in a VM so that way someone can easily blow things away and we don't touch the base system? We had to come to some direction on what we wanted to do there. Now that we have that idea we need to finish up one thing on Mac that will translate over to Linux.

    The Linux side will be based on Lima[1] just as the Mac side is.

    Earlier today I had a discussion on the packaging format.

  • rd

    Container Management and Kubernetes on the Desktop

  • I'm hitting https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/56... but will look again in the future.

  • 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.

  • remote-docker-aws

    Remote Docker for local development hosted using AWS

  • I made https://github.com/lime-green/remote-docker-aws a while ago and I've been happily using it for about a year. It throws docker in a ec2 VM and allows you to call docker as if it were running locally by tunneling and syncing files. The network file systems I tried (sshfs, nfs) were way too slow

  • sshwebdav

    [Experimental] WebDAV server for SSH. Similar to sshfs but does not require proprietary MacFUSE on macOS

  • Lima project works on an alternative to sshfs https://github.com/lima-vm/sshwebdav
