nerdctl and containerd as an alternative to Docker and Podman

presented by danishprakash

While Podman started out as a replacement for Docker, it has now become a well-established container runtime. With containerd as the backend and nerdctl as the frontend there is now a new contender in the container runtime ecosystem challenging both Podman and Docker. In this talk, we will introduce containerd, a lightweight and flexible open-source container runtime, and nerdctl, a command-li...

Wouldn't it be nice if you could download repositores locally and update from a machine on your own LAN? Benefits include much faster updates, more control over local updates, and less clu...
