Nothing mentioned here is actually an alternative for Docker Desktop. The article is very k8s focused, which is really just a feature that was added to Docker Desktop.
- rckrd 5y agoMinikube was initially based on docker-machine. It’s the closest alternative to having just Docker on macOS or Windows
- miked85 5y agoYou can't just have Docker on macOS or Windows though. There has to be an underlying VM, which Docker Desktop hides the details of.
- simonkagedal 5y agoCould you explain what Minikube brings, if you don't need Kubernetes, beyond setting up up docker-machine and virtualbox with something like this? https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/373888/how-do-i-start-the-docker-daemon-on-macos/373914#373914 https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/373888/how-do-i-st... I'd love a maintained, packaged solution, but it looks to me that I still have some configuration to do with minikube to set up a virutalization driver etc..?
- steviedotboston 5y agoAgreed. I want a .app file for macOS that does everything Docker Desktop does, without the bloat.
- alexruf 5y ago> Agreed. I want a .app file for macOS that does everything Docker Desktop does, without the bloat. Everything Docker Desktop does, without the bloat of the Desktop app ;)
- mumblemumble 5y agoI think that, in this case, "without the bloat" is not a very meaningful ask. Most of the size of the app bundle is the image for the virtual machine it uses to host Docker. By comparison, the GUI bits are quite small.
- mattl 5y agoApps on Mac OS X are bundles, they're actually folders. This is something from the NeXTSTEP era that still persists in Mac OS X.
- steviedotboston 5y agoupdate: "To everyone in the NeXTSTEP community (and it is a community) but also to @mattl I apologize for saying Mac OS X apps are files not folders."
