Colima is great. However, in the upcoming macOS 26 Tahoe, and mostly in macOS 15 Sequoia, Apple is beginning to provide a first-party solution:

I've been experimenting with it in macOS 15, and I was able to replace Colima entirely for my purposes. Running container images right off of Docker Hub, without Docker / Podman / etc.

(And yes, it is using a small Linux VM run under Apple's HyperKit.)

I ran into various issues I think, but my main objective was running a full k3s cluster this way, reckon this is achievable with full networking support now? Also if I already had colima setup, does new apple container provide any benefits beyond just being made by apple?

Try Orb docker. It is fast. It ha a Kubernetes cluster feature.

This thread is amazing - thank you all.

I’m surprised I didn’t stumble into any of these options, I searched and didn’t find.
