Mount the docker socket. There's some quirks with storage volume paths. Also, security implications. Was not super hard to get working though.

I'd love to go straight to containerd or even basic linux containers but I'm not willing to run kubernetes on my personal machine and haven't found any ergonomic enough ways to run containers.

Check out https://podman.io?

Like docker (uses CRI images) but daemonless.

I thought it didn't even support compose like functionality? Or did they add that now?

[rumanator]

Docker-compose is an add-on script that only automates how containers are launched/shut down.

It's under development: https://github.com/containers/podman-compose

I'm more than willing to run K8S on my personal machine in the form of microk8s, k3s, minikube, and similar cut-down versions of k8s.

The others are probably fine, but for anyone thinking about this, minikube uses 50% CPU even on powerful machines for no reason [0]. I switched to kind and it works perfectly, super lightweight.

I have used minikube before. Back when it was using localkube, it was ok. It isn't as much now. (Now, it uses kubeadm to bring up the full suite).

microk8s might not give as much gains.

k3s from Rancher actually cuts out a lot of code, and from I hear, can run fine on Rapsberry Pis.

I have not heard of "kind", but neat.

Using the KVM driver reduces minkube cpu waste a lot, only supported on Linux...

[idnefju]

do you have any article links about your kind setup?

[hosh]

I don't know about the other guy's setup, but here's the github repo: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind
