Can it be used to run Docker Compose workloads? As I understand, the tool is launched because at the end of January the Docker Desktop grace period elapses and it becomes paid for large business.

Yes, nerdctl compose will work for most of the use cases. Check this compatibility guide - https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl/blob/master/docs/compose.md#unimplemented-yaml-fields https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl/blob/master/docs/compo...

I am also curious about this. Reading the FAQ (https://docs.rancherdesktop.io/faq https://docs.rancherdesktop.io/faq): *Q: I can no longer run docker compose after installing Rancher Desktop and uninstalling Docker Desktop, what happened?* *A: The docker compose subcommand is bundled as part of a Docker Desktop installation and is removed when uninstalled. Follow these instructions to install it.* It also stated you can have both Docker Desktop and Rancher Desktop installed, but only one can be running at a time as it shares the same docker socket. I might try installing Rancher Desktop and stopping Docker Desktop and seeing if it all works as expected.

I have not tried it, but I imagine you can. There is an option to use dockerd in the VM.

There is Podman Compose which will what you want. I particularly like Podman, because you can use it for Minikube, independently, rootless, etc.

  FWIW podman does not work as a driver for minikube on Apple Silicon. Really hoping it gets sorted out because that’s probably what I would use.

    It looks like it does now: https://podman.io/blogs/2021/10/04/m1macs.html https://podman.io/blogs/2021/10/04/m1macs.html

You can install docker-compose independently, it's apache2 licensed unlike docker-desktop. On macOS brew install docker-compose

For anyone reading this: Rancher Desktop w/dockerd powers docker-compose perfectly (installed via pip3), at least on some of my projects `docker-compose up --build` ran out of the box without any problems.
