Container Factory vs Weave: What are the differences?
Developers describe Container Factory as "Turn your Github repo into a published container image". container-factory produces Docker images from tarballs of application source code. It accepts archives with Dockerfiles, but if your application's language is supported, it can automatically add a suitable Dockerfile. On the other hand, Weave is detailed as "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.
Container Factory and Weave can be categorized as "Container" tools.
Container Factory and Weave are both open source tools. It seems that Weave with 5.57K GitHub stars and 517 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Container Factory with 56 GitHub stars and 2 GitHub forks.
