Docker Immutable Workstation vs Weave: What are the differences?
Docker Immutable Workstation: Docker based portable Workstation. Quite simply, I can easily control the dev environment, rebuild it at will, and run programs "on my latop" when they are not installed or configured on the laptop. In fact I think the best part of this is configuration for my whole dev machine is sgtored on github, and can be re-created anywhere easily. With the volume mounted, I can then use emacs / konsole running inside a container, and adjust files that are stored on my local laptop; Weave: Weave creates a virtual network that connects Docker containers deployed across multiple hosts. Weave can traverse firewalls and operate in partially connected networks. Traffic can be encrypted, allowing hosts to be connected across an untrusted network. With weave you can easily construct applications consisting of multiple containers, running anywhere.
Docker Immutable Workstation and Weave belong to "Container Tools" category of the tech stack.
Docker Immutable Workstation and Weave are both open source tools. Weave with 5.57K GitHub stars and 517 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Docker Immutable Workstation with 459 GitHub stars and 20 GitHub forks.
