State of the project

[meiswjn]

Hey there,

I really appreciate Sysbox! It is a great tool and fills a huge gap in terms of container isolation. With that being said, it worries me a little bit to see that this project didn't have a release since May and for example #961 not being addressed.

I am not taking any open source projects for granted but I am asking myself if we should search for alternatives or if this project will be further maintained. Perhaps there are specific things the community can help out with to keep this project alive?

Thanks for your work!

Would be interested in a response as well.
We are still waiting on a merged bugfix to be released: #949

On 2025-07-11 it was stated:

@ctalledo will it create a new release ?

Hi @abhi4u1947, yes we will generate a new release very soon (we do one every 3 months or so, as time allows).

This project was announced to us as a possible solution to the deprecated Kaniko project by engineers at Docker Inc. So far we are hessistant to fully commit to this project, as we are not sure if it receives the attention we would like to see for a full blown enterprise project.
