To install containerd on Mac, you have to compile sources and this can be tedious and long. Lima is a project that allows you to launch Linux virtual machines on MacOS with automatic file sharing, port forwarding, and containerd. Rather heavy as a working environment! But recently I found a turnkey and easy to set up solution to have Docker and Kubernetes on Mac without going through Docker Desktop. To have a Linux host I was running a vagrant virtual machine with a docker inside.
But the problem here is that there is no support for systemd because it doesn't exist in MacOSX. When I am developing Ansible roles, I do tests with the Molecule framework and Docker.
In my case of daily use, I've long been looking for an alternative to Docker Desktop. This is a good opportunity to think about an alternative to Docker Desktop.
There are some changes on the Docker Desktop side: 'Docker Desktop remains free for small businesses (fewer than 250 employees AND less than $10 million in annual revenue), personal use, education, and non-commercial open source projects.' from the Docker blog Docker announced on Augthat they will update their subscription.
