Containers are awesome! But storing and moving them is painful! It's slow! Containers are huge! There's little deduplication! No cryptographic versioning! Images are lost! Worst, we must depend on other services -- or having fast connection to them...
No more! starship puts your containers on hyperspeed! Instead of old-school HTTP, starship uses shiny IPFS -- a new protocol, Git meets Bittorrent. With IPFS, starship (a) deduplicates all data between containers, (b) uses p2p download from fastest hosts, and (c) can limit connections to private cloud(s) or local networks.
