yes; actually it's pretty cool because it shows you docker containers running on your system too and lets you manage those if you have any.

#5There's also Rancher Desktop in the same space, which includes k3s as a local K8s solution.
For personal use I found it great and lighter than Docker Desktop. At work, unfortunately all options but Docker Desktop have issues with either 1) Our Cisco AnyConnect VPN, or 2) Our authenticated http proxy. Couldn't find anything else providing a container runtime + a local k8s on MacOS that works in this environment. So we just got Docker Desktop licenses.

#7Docker Desktop for Mac released an experimental file sharing implementation back in March[0].
It made working with Docker bearable.
Does anyone know how well Podman performs on Mac? Especially file sharing.
Edit: A quick Google led me back to this HackerNews comment[1]. Looks like Docker for Mac is faster.

I suppose Docker Compose won‘t work with those alternatives?

Compose works (with caveats, sometimes significant ones) with podman.
Rancher desktop works seamlessly with docker-compose. No issues at all.

Docker Compose works fine with Rancher Desktop. You can use it with Podman on Linux too, you just need to enable the socket since normally Podman does without - I'd imagine there's some way to enable this on Podman desktop too.
