I built something for containers.
Kiri: an open-source container runtime for Mac, Linux and Windows.
8.3× faster than docker, colima and orbstack.
Click Share on any container and get a public HTTPS link. Free, no ngrok.
docker run in 18 ms. 8.3× faster than Colima, Docker Desktop and OrbStack.
Your docker, Compose and buildx just work.
Local links, Kubernetes built in.

Kiri 0.1.18 is out 🎊
Kiri is a free, open-source container runtime for Mac, Windows and Linux. It works with the docker CLI and Compose.
New: a built-in terminal right next to your containers, with tabs, splits and find.
Also: Kubernetes pods can now see your folders, and volumes keep the image's files.

Jetbrains is doin a comeback. I am so happy. I started using them in 2012. It broke my heart to move away to agentic coding.
Agents write the code. You own what ships, from design to prod.
WebStorm now comes with JetBrains Air built in. Send design context to your agent. Review the diff and leave notes on the code. The agent audits Storybook and checks its own work in Chrome. All inside the IDE.
Try it in 2026.3: jb.gg/cq1ez7
Kiri - Cross-platform container runtime, capable of running Docker images and compatible with Docker CLI, Compose, and buildx.

Thank you @chielo_chiamaka, this means a lot to me.
Pods and services was the last and interesting bit for me as I kept debating which kubernetes distro to go with 😀.
What's one thing you'd want Kiri to do that it doesn't yet?
I love seeing amazing open-source work like this. I've always wanted a lightweight Docker Dextop alternative because my system specs is low
Tried out Kiri by @libracoder today and I'm honestly blown away. Insanely fast and Kubernetes pods and live logs right in the UI
Your container image is 459 MB.
One layer is 112 MB of it. Do you know which one?
Kiri shows every layer, its size, and the command that built it. Free and open source.

Interesting week 😀
Upwind raises $400M, groundcover rightsizes Kubernetes for you, OpenKruise fences in AI agents, and a Critical Docker Desktop escape to patch today.

Container Image Layer is an interesting topic 😅

I've always believed developer tools should be fast and elegant. If I'm going to sit in front of something every day, it should be a pleasure to use.
That's why I'm building Kiri: a container runtime that starts in milliseconds and stays out of your way.
Now your containers dont have to look boring.

You can also share a kubernetes pod not just a container in just one click.
Click share on pods or service and get a *.runkiri.cloud domain.
Kiri is Open Source and Free

The AI may write all of the code, but I still about the things I build.

Thank you @nitrocode for the first PR to @runkirihq 💪
Shipping 0.1.7 already
