  • colima

    Container runtimes on macOS (and Linux) with minimal setup

    • Colima creates a Linux Qemu VM with Docker installed via CLI. You can use your local docker CLI and VS Code extensions, since the Docker Socket will be forwarded to the host.

  • rd

    Container Management and Kubernetes on the Desktop

    • Rancher Desktop is worth a try and available on Mac. https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • podman

    Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.

  • homebrew-core

    🍻 Default formulae for the missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    • This formula is exactly for the use case when not using docker Desktop. Just checked the ruby file again and it installs just the cli. This cask installs docker desktop instead (when using the --cask flag with brew).
