Colima

Colima is becoming a popular open alternative to Docker for Desktop. It provisions the Docker container runtime in a Lima VM, configures the Docker CLI on macOS and handles port-forwarding and volume mounts. Colima uses containerd as runtime, which is also the runtime on most managed Kubernetes services (thus improved dev-prod parity). With Colima you can easily use and test the latest features of containerd, such as lazy loading for container images. With its good performance, we're watching Colima as a strong potential for the open-source choice alternative to Docker for Desktop.
