I'd also like to know more about this, since for smaller to medium sized deployments (think 1-100 nodes, maybe running between 1-1000 containers) Docker Swarm does seem like a pretty reasonable solution, especially with tools like Portainer ( https://www.portainer.io/ ) for a web based UI to manage it.
I guess some of the reasons for the popularity of Kubernetes could be:
- Kubernetes had Google as a big name behind it, so there was a lot of development resources put into it
I've been waiting for two features from Docker:
1. Launch a container by specifying its image digest, not image ID [0] [1]. You can pull an image with a specific digest, but then it gets an ID that is unique to the image repository. Later deployments must use that different image ID. This makes deployment tooling needlessly complicated. And it breaks the security guarantees of the digest by allowing the repository to modify the image.
2. Copy a file into a container with docker-compose, without requiring Swarm [1].
Do financial problems explain their slowness? I wish they would just charge $100/year per seat for Docker for macOS and then fix the long-standing problems.
And sell a hosted tool to do trusted builds of docker images from hashed sources. Reproducible builds would be great, too.

I haven't done a lot with it, but VMWare Fusion has a `vctl` command you can execute in Terminal:
https://github.com/VMwareFusion/vctl-docs/blob/master/docs/g...
Looks like it supports doing some kubernetes stuff using a `kind` cluster.
I've had pretty good experiences with Fusion, so, yeah, there's some real Docker alternatives up and coming. I think Docker's great, though, and I feel that we'd never have seen a `vctl` on a mac without it's existence.
