COLIMA
Docker and Kubernetes on macOS without Docker Desktop
MIT
ABOUT
Docker Desktop on macOS is licensed for many companies and often overkill for local Compose and Kubernetes work. Colima starts a Lima VM, exposes the Docker API, and optionally k3s so existing docker and kubectl workflows keep working with an open-source runtime.
INSTALL
brew install colimaINTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Run docker compose stacks for local RAG apps, vector DBs, and model servers on a Mac
2. Point the Docker CLI at Colima instead of Docker Desktop for CI-like local builds
3. Enable Colima Kubernetes to test Helm charts and inference services before cluster deploy
4. Mount project directories into containers for iterative ML service development
