Lilipod? Sounds like little-pod, and I like it. So what does this manage? Lilipod is a very simple container manager with minimal features to: - Download and manage images - Create and run containers It tries to keep a somewhat compatible CLI interface with Podman/Docker/Nerdctl Warning This is beta quality software, it's not heavily used and tested like other alternatives. Be aware. So are these containers like in Podman or Docker right? Well...superficially yes; Sure you have a separate user, mount (and optionally network, pid, ipc) namespaces, and the processes are in a pivotroot jail, but this does not manage anything else, so: - no seccomp - no capabilities - no cgroups If you need full blown containers, look no further than Podman or Nerdctl for your needs. Goals Lilipod wants to be: - nimble - single statically compiled binary - no external dependencies (as much as possible...more on this later) - Follow Podman command and flags name when possible, try also to match the output This tool does not aim to be a full replacement for Podman, Docker, Nerdctl or similar tools Ok but why was it created? Well, I felt the need to go deeper in how to download a container image from a registry... then one thing lead to another... and here we are. 👀 Also this is a nice fallback for Distrobox when no container-manager is found, or when it's not possible to install one.
