Show HN: Kern – container and resource runtime in a 1.5 MB binary, no daemon
Summary
Kern is a daemonless, rootless container and resource runtime packaged as a 1.52 MB static binary. It presents as a real OCI container with fast cold-start times, supports resource profiling (CPU, memory, disk, devices), and offers Docker-Compose compatibility without a daemon. The project emphasizes security through namespaces and seccomp, and provides Python/Node bindings and a variety of docs and benchmarks.
