My needs are super minimal, one or two containers at a time at most. So I use Docker Engine + docker-machine (sets up a Linux VM in VirtualBox by default) + lazydocker (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker). I did add a function to my fish config to start Docker Engine if needed, load the environment info I need from docker-machine, and then run lazydocker. Seems to work fine so far for me.
