  • lima

  • That’s interesting. We’ve been investigating Lima (https://github.com/lima-vm/lima) as an alternative to Docker Desktop on Mac, and I believe that mounts volumes from the host using sshfs. I wonder if they’ll either take it on or migrate to something else if it’s not being maintained…
