LinuxKitBased on our record, Podman seems to be a lot more popular than LinuxKit. While we know about 135 links to Podman, we've tracked only 10 mentions of LinuxKit. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Funnily enough, we shipped the Docker Desktop VM a decade ago now (experience report at https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3747525). The embedded VM in DD is much more stripped down than the one in Claude Cowork (its based on https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit), and its more specialised to container workloads rather than just using bubblewrap for sandboxing (system services run in their own isolated namespaces).... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
Note: Namespaces are a feature of the linux kernel. But Docker allows you to run containers on Windows and Mac... How does that work? The secret is that embedded in the Docker product or Docker engine is a linux subsystem. Docker open-sourced this linux subsystem to a new project: LinuxKit. Being able to run containers on many different platforms is one advantage of using the Docker tooling with containers. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
Another project that aims to deliver this is Linuxkit (https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit). All the components they ship are written in memory safe languages (usually Go) and run as containers under containerd. You can build a custom image very easily, fully defined as a YAML file. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

LF-Edge EVE project leverages Linuxkit to create custom OSs for Edge Devices which in turn leverages Containers as Lego Blocks. - Source: dev.to / almost 4 years ago
Most of the readers should know Docker, perhaps Podman or LxC/Incus. Maybe OpenVZ was one of your tool in the past. In fact, those projects are userland interfaces to control Linux namespaces and cgroups. All those features mixed together offer a way to isolate running processes from different point of view (pid, network, users, etc...). - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago
Docker runs a long-lived background daemon (dockerd), traditionally as root. Every CLI call talks to it over a socket. Podman doesn't. Each podman invocation is just a regular process you run as your own user. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
Our setup is completely local. We will use exclusively Podman. All the executions are done on Windows 11 using Command Prompt terminals under VScodium. You might need to apply some minor changes for your environment (if any). - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago
A development container (devcontainer) describes the developer environment as an OCI image (often built with a Dockerfile). The usual runtime is Docker, but tools such as Podman are compatible with the same workflow. For simplicity, this chapter assumes Docker is installed on your machine. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
Podman installed, RamaLama uses it as the default container engine. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
