Local container management

Containers
Our review

What we like

Easy to remember commands for building and running containers without having to install/learn multiple tools. Can pull from container registries or build locally (creating an OCI image from a Dockerfile). Supports specifying the platform for running/building for different architectures. Acts as a layer on top of nerdctl so it is effectively Docker compatible, but uses containerd and BuildKit.

What we don't like

macOS only (Windows & Linux are on the roadmap). Docs are limited, so you need to work out the commands from the nerdctl docs.
