Docker is deleting Open Source organisations - what you need to know

Podman Moby CRI-O containerd unpkg devenv
  1. 1
    Simple debugging tool for pods and images
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Alternatives like Podman and CRI-O continue to gain traction and may replace Docker in various places. For example, Kubernetes used to use Docker, then moved to containerd, and now also support CRI-O. Generally speaking, the core features of "Docker" are such a commodity now that no one was the wiser when Kubernetes stopped using it.

  2. 2
    A new upstream project to break up Docker into independent components
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Docker itself is open-source, and has slowly been broken down into modular components that are themselves open-source. For example, most of what "run this Docker container" does has been extracted out into containerd, which is Apache licensed and used by lots of things. The Docker CE engine is now based on Moby, also Apache license, and the docker command line tool is also Apache licensed. I expect these tools to continue to be community-maintained (though maybe without the Docker name) due to their immense popularity even Docker Inc folds.

    The CDN for everything on npm
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    You don't need maintainers to stop using npm to import their code as dependencies. Since all you need is the url to the module you could just import directly from github, or even something like https://unpkg.com/ gives you versioned urls to npm packages.

  6. 6
    Fast, Declarative, Reproducible, and Composable dev envs
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    I still build docker containers, but do it reproducibly with Nix and the DX friendly https://devenv.sh/.
