Why was using straigt containers not enough?
- harshdoesdev 7mo agocontainers work fine for a lot of this. shuru is just what felt more natural to me. less config overhead and i wanted to learn by building it.
- wickrom 7mo agoWhat would you say are a natural use case for Shuru or Lima vs say a full docker like environment? What does the sandbox allow you to do differently? There's additional overhead of the hypervisor. I'm mostly just trying to learn, as yourself.
- nsonha 7mo agoinstalling new tools inside container requires you to update the Dockerfile and rebuild, here it seems you can simply run the installation command and create a checkpoint
- fulafel 7mo agoYou can do this with Docker too without Dockerfile or rebuilding. You can treat the container as mutable and just start/stop it, doing changes manually, and make snapshots with docker commit. You'll forfeit the benefits of reproducible scripted environment of course but Docker does let you do it.
