Update: I looked at it. Overall it looks very promising on paper.

However, the bootstrapping process is so much work that I've ended up ditching it for now. I don't want to "automate the automation" yet.

Trying out podman now.



Tried Podman. It looked quite promising, but failed me: https://github.com/containers/podman/discussions/26899

Trying Incus now


Have you tried LXC? It runs entire distros as containers, with init and everything.


It looks a bit confusing. There’s LXC, LXD and Incus. I should look for Incus, right?

Seems a bit less popular and supported, I also like that Podman has strong backing from Red Hat and potentially seamless macOS integration.

Otherwise if Podman will fail I’ll take a look at Incus.
