Relatively familiar with Linux/docker/podman (though not a developer or devops), but new to MacOS, lima, colima. Not sure if it is a newbie mistake but I have been using gemini (AI chat) to learn and experiment with colima. I prefer minimalism, when it works, in the sense that I prefer to use Apple native virtualization instead of qemu (for performance and avoidance of additional software), and go with containerd w/ nerdctl client as those seemed to be more out-of-the-box. However, I've not been very successful in using containerd/nerdctl so far. I use macports for installing software on MacOS, so I used macports method to install lima, colima on my system. I did the colima start -r containerd which downloaded the vm image for hosting containerd runtime. colima status shows it running on my IP. colima nerdctl install it installs nerdctl to /usr/local/bin but which nerdctl shows me the nerdctl from /opt/local/bin/nerdctl instead, and that obvious has no clue about colima's profiles. Could it be that I'd have installed nerdctl myself (outside of colima) earlier -- though I do not recollect doing so. Any clues or hints on how to make this work ?
Wondering if I should be switching over to using docker instead ? Is the support for docker runtime and client better, more robust in colima ?
