• Best virtualization solution with Ubuntu 22.04

  Which is what docker/podman/containerd use. If you want full system emulation look into LXC/LXD. Source: 11 months ago

• Opinions on linux? I wanna hear yalls opinion on it, because you can do some cool shit with it, heres my own rice for a basic idea of what random shit you can do w/ it

  LXD is a manager for Linux Containers (LXC), which lets me spin up a kind-of lightweight VM for any distro, instantly. I use it to run proprietary software isolated from the rest of my system (such as Steam); disposable environments for trying stuff out, and running software that doesn't jive well with Nixos.

• Error: Failed to connect to local LXD: Get "http://unix.socket/1.0": dial unix /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket: connect: no such file or directory

  Check this thread on linuxcontainers LXD forum. Half way down Simos points to the eventual solution:. Source: about 1 year ago

• Virtualisating my server

  I found this website https://linuxcontainers.org/ and I am going to test that out for server just to see how it works. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any good (and up to date) book about LXC/LXC

  Up to now the best documentation I have come across is the official one at linuxcontainers.org. Source: about 1 year ago

• US Cybersecurity: The Urgent Need for Memory Safety in Software Products

  It's interesting that, in light of things like this, you still see large software companies adding support for new components written in non-memory safe languages (e.g. C) As an example Red Hat OpenShift added support for crun(https://github.com/containers/crun), which is written in C as an alternative to runc, which is written in Go( - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Why did the Krustlet project die?

  Yeah, runtimeClass lets you specify which CRI plugin you want based on what you have available. Here's an example from the containerd documentation - you could have one node that can run containers under standard runc, gvisor, kata containers, or WASM. Without runtimeClass, you'd need either some form of custom solution or four differently configured nodes to run those different runtimes. That's how krustlet did... Source: over 1 year ago

• Why use Docker in 2022?

  Your Docker Container can only run Linux. That's because Docker takes advantage of runC which uses the Linux kernel. You can't run Windows inside of Docker. But of course you can run Docker on a Windows host machine. If you are running a .NET project, you won't be able to use Docker. On the other hand, if you're running .NET Core then you're in luck! - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Containers without Docker (podman, buildah, and skopeo)

  This is what Podman, an open-source daemonless and rootless container engine, was developed with in mind. Podman runs using the runC container runtime process, directly on the Linux kernel, and launches containers and pods as child processes. In addition, it was developed for the Docker developer, with most commands and syntax seamlessly mirroring Docker's. Buildah, an image builder, and Skopeo, the image utility... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Learn Docker - from the beginning, part I images and containers

  If you are curious about how exactly Docker does this I urge to have a look at the following links on layered file system and the library runc and also this great wikipedia overview of Docker. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
