From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Also the plot of Hollow Knight.

You would think you'd already have problems if someone's managed to compromise one or more of your containers without you knowing though whether they can get the host or not

Could be serving users malware or silently sucking up all the sensitive data the container sees

What if anything do people do about anti virus in containers?

Wouldn't rootless containers have reduced the impact of these vulnerabilities? I'll happily continue using rootless podman for simple tasks

Docker can be run in rootless mode[1]. Ideally that should be the standard mode unless you have specific requirements not satisfied by rootless mode.

Dang that's scary. The user would need ssh access to the container for this to work, right?
