Replace Docker Desktop with Colima

1. Install required dependencies

brew install colima docker docker-credential-helper docker-buildx docker-compose docker-completion

2. Edit the docker configuration to use extensions and credentials helper (otherwise everything will be stored in clear)

   Add these lines to ~/.docker/config.json

   "credsStore": "osxkeychain",
   "cliPluginsExtraDirs": [
   	  "/opt/homebrew/lib/docker/cli-plugins"
     ]

3. Start the vm using parameter optimized for your mac

colima start --arch aarch64 --vm-type=vz --vz-rosetta --cpu 4 --memory 4 --disk 64

4. Uninstall docker desktop but it's not mandatory
