    Multipass orchestrates virtual Ubuntu instances

  • I liked the idea of it until I realized I could not run it as a non-admin user on the Mac because they had not designed the app in a way that allowed for it - the control socket was inaccessible to my "regular" user.

    Issue has been open since March 2020: https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/1437

  • docker-multipass

    Use multipass to create a docker instance for macOS

  • I've been running multipass for awhile now to host Docker, especially on M1. I ended up writing a guide/docs on how to easily get it setup with cloud-init to replace Docker Desktop. Hope this helps anyone.
