  • lima

    Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers

    It looks like Rancher Desktop uses Lima VM (https://github.com/lima-vm/lima) under the hood, I suppose in the same way that Docker Desktop uses Hypervisor.framework on macos? This is the first I've heard about the Lima project. I'll be interested to see how file system performance with this compares to Docker.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • colima

    Container runtimes on macOS (and Linux) with minimal setup

    While I haven’t run rancher desktop, i have been running colima.

    https://github.com/abiosoft/colima

    Which also is built on top of lima.

    It’s been great, some network wonkiness, and works on m1 perfectly.

    The rancher devs have been contributing back to the project helping improve both.

  • docker-install

    Docker installation script

    For Windows, you can run docker in WSL at least. It's also easy to install using the script at https://get.docker.com.

    It will warn you about WSL and recommend Docker Desktop for Windows, which is funny since Docker Desktop can also run docker for you in WSL.
