How would I use Minikube to replace Docker Desktop if I don't want to use (or learn anything in depth) about Kubernetes? Like in the case where we just want to build images locally, optionally send to a docker registry, and use docker commands to run the docker containers?

Would love to know this as well! I never use the GUI of Docker Desktop, I just need the docker and docker-compose commands on the command line (on macOS).

I found (but not yet tried) these instructions on how to set up minikube as a drop-in replacement for docker desktop on mac: https://gist.github.com/protosam/11800faea25a3f89af9ece4f11c72f1d https://gist.github.com/protosam/11800faea25a3f89af9ece4f11c...

Assuming you've installed Minikube and separately downloaded the Docker CLI client, you start up Minikube, set up the Docker environment using `minikube docker-env`, and run `docker` commands as usual. This configures the Docker client to run against a "remote host", it does have some notable limitations. The `--publish` and `--volume` arguments don't work the same way, for instance.
