I’ve been using LXC/Incus as lightweight VMs (my home server is an old mac mini) and I think too many software is over reliant on Docker. It’s very much “ship your computer” with a bunch of odd scripts in addition to the Dockerfiles.

Could you elaborate the "ship your computer"? Majority of the images are base OS (which is as lean as possible) and then just the app...

To that end, full blown VM seems even more "ship your computer" thing?

Btw. isn't LXC base for the Docker as well? It looks somewhat similar to docker and podman?
