About the project

A lightweight container runtime written in Rust for macOS, Windows and Linux, compatible with the Docker Engine API and CLI. It replaces Docker Desktop and OrbStack by running containers in a single small Linux VM.

Useful for
  • Run existing Docker images via docker --context kiri without changing tools
  • Spin up a local single-node Kubernetes cluster with kiri k8s start
  • Migrate images, volumes and containers from OrbStack or Docker Desktop with kiri import

6.2 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 9, 2026, 01:38 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0200400November 2, 2026November 9, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:02–01:28: 1192 → 1222 stars (+30). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +274 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 2.2× that of the previous 5 days.
  • The repository is 7 days old and already has 1,222 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • About 24 forks a day — people are taking the code.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @RandyMcMillan (522 followers).

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 1,224.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
