Just need to put a JIT compiled language logo inside the blue car and caption it as "Containerise once, ship anywhere".

Hoping somebody organizes a /c/TranscribersOfLemmy or /m/TranscribersOfKbin

I’m even worse, I have used wsl in a windows vm on my mac before haha

My experience using docker on windows has been pretty awful, it would randomly become completely unresponsive, sometimes taking 100% CPU in the process. Couldn't stop it without restarting my computer. Tried reinstalling and various things, still no help. Only found a GitHub issue with hundreds of comments but no working workarounds/solutions.

When it does work it still manages to feel... fragile, although maybe that's just because of my experience with it breaking.

I work in a windows environment at work and my VMs regularly flag the infrastructure firewalls. So WSL is my easiest way to at least be able to partially work in my environment of choice.

Yes, under windows and osx at least.

So that's why it's so memory hungry....

On macos it does

I was about to comment this. That van also contains QEMU if your host is on ARM64.

I was about to comment this. That car also contains QEMU in case you own a Mac with M1/M2 chip.

We're reaching levels of containerization that shouldn't even be possible!

Think of a container like a self contained box that can be configured to contain everything a program may need to run.

You can give the box to someone else, and they can use it on their computer without any issues.

So I could build a container that contains my program that hosts cat pictures and give it to you. As long as you have docker installed you can run a command "docker run container X" and it'll run.

Is it like virtualbox ?

VirtualBox: A virtual machine created with VirtualBox contains simulated hardware, an installed OS, and installed applications. If you want multiple VMs, you need to simulate all of that for each.

Docker containers virtualize the application, but use their host's hardware and kernel without simulating it. This makes containers smaller and lighter.

VMs are good if you care about the hardware and the OS, for example to create different testing environments. Containers are good if you want to run many in parallel, for example to provide services on a server. Because they are lightweight, it's also easy to share containers. You can choose from a wide range of preconfigured containers, and directly use them or customize them to your liking.

macOS is not unix-like, it is literally Unix.

I would not be surprised to learn this photo was taken in Russia.

Podman on MacOS is the same, is it not? Running a containers inside a VM?

Podman does the same. Podman runs fedora.

Yo dawg
