Comment on How many containers are you all running?
smiletolerantly@awful.systems 1 week agoEh… Not really. Qemu does a really good job with VM virtualizarion.
I believe I could easily build containers instead of VMs from the nix config, but I actually do like having a full VM: since it’s running a full OS instead of an app, all the usual nix tooling just works on it.
Also: In my day job, I actually have to deal quite a bit with containers (and kubernetes), and I just… don’t like it.

Yeah, just wondered because containers just hook into the kernal in a way that doesn’t have overhead. Where as a VM has to emulate the entire OS. But hey I get it, fixing stuff inside the container can be a pain
