lima

lima-vm/lima · ★ 22.1K

Lima launches Linux virtual machines with automatic file sharing and port forwarding, similar to WSL2. It was originally created to bring containerd and nerdctl to Mac users but is not limited to containers.

public-image-mirror

DaoCloud/public-image-mirror · ★ 15.2K

It is a public mirror service for container registries (like gcr.io, ghcr.io, docker.io, quay.io) run by DaoCloud, meant to speed up pulling images for users in China where those registries are slow.
