Open Repository for Container Tools

Welcome to Containers!

We're a collection of open source tools that create, configure, and work with containers.

🛠️ Tools

Some of our tools include Podman, Buildah, Skopeo, conmon-rs, crun, and RamaLama, as well as our supporting libraries, common, storage, and image in the container-libs repo. Check them out and see all the cool things happening!
