Just configure the application requiring the Docker API, to use the socked within your home folder. Once done you will have a docker.sock file in your home folder. this can be done with the following command: ssh -p 60022 -i ~ /.lima/_config/user -o NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost=yes -L ~ /docker.sock:/run/user/$(id -u)/docker.sock 127.0. Then you have to access to the docker.sock from your Mac.
#Docker for mac run install
Lima dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install so you can configure it to use docker instead of containerd.Īs AkihiroSuda suggested in its post comments, this is quite simple: curl -fsSL | lima For example, in Java unit test with Testcontainers this interaction is mandatory.īut Lima is Linux and Docker is OSS. To simplify the usage, just add an alian on your Mac to directly execute the right command: alias docker="lima nerdctl"Ĭontainerd is not exposing an API like the docker one, this means for some application it is impossible to interact and control docker. but in the end the big difference is only in the script name, because all the commands (even the compose one) are there. The CLI to use to interact with the default containerd is nerdctl. But for a standard / simple usage this is enough. The main difference is that by default it is not using the docker-engine but the containerd directly instead. Īs Lima is automatically forwards all the VM ports to the host and shares the volumes, everything is as easy as with the docker-desktop.
Once finished there are 2 main commands available on your PC: lima to access to the virtual machine and execute "linux" commands limactrl to control the machine, create, start, stop. The lima installation, thanks to homebrew, is really simple and everything is managed: brew install lima but I needed to make some enhancements to what was described in the post as my specific use cases required more things. The same day I discovered, thanks to AkihiroSuda Medium Post, that a possible alternative for MacOSX exists.
