Show HN: MicroVM daemon, deploy any Docker image

sankalpnarula — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 00:39:57 +0000

Lately, I have been trying to understand the security aspect of docker containers, and what I have realized is that all docker containers share the host's kernel. Any zero day vulnerability in the kernel can be used to gain access to the host os.

In order to deal with this, I did some research turns out Amazon has open sourced the core technology behind their serverless technology lambda. But in its current state its very hard to setup, let alone run anything securely. This technology is called firecracker microvm's

It started off as a go library, for creating process pools to just do a simple firecracker spawn, turned into a full fledged host side daemon.

deploying a microvm through a docker image is now as simple as running

`herd deploy --image postgres:latest -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres`

with boot times ~500ms

PS - I recently lost access to `Greptile` free code review for OSS projects, my repo stars (38) < 50. Could you guys please bump them up slightly :))

Show HN: UniFi OS Server in Docker

Steen3S — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 07:12:49 +0000

Ubiquiti only ships the UniFi OS Server (UOS) as an OCI image embedded inside a proprietary Rust installer — you can't just pull it from a registry. This repository extracts that OCI image, adjusts it to our liking, and ships it with a compose file and config that make it fit to run in Docker. No parallel Podman setup required.
