Docker on Lima (lima-vm/lima) Setup Guide

In recent months, Lima has become de facto standard software as a free and open source alternative to Docker Desktop for Mac. Several projects (such as Colima, Rancher Desktop, or Finch) for similar purpose also uses Lima as their backend. These projects will make it easier to set up Lima. But some people may not want to introduce extra components other than Lima. This guide will show you how to set up Lima to be alternative to Docker Desktop for Mac, while using Lima only.

🪣 Note. It is a good practice to uninstall Docker Desktop for Mac before proceeding with the following steps.

1. Install Lima and Docker CLI

# The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit.
# If the tag points to the commit, then only the tag is shown.
# Otherwise, it suffixes the tag name with the number of additional commits on top of the tagged object 
# and the abbreviated object name of the most recent commit.
git describe

# With --abbrev set to 0, the command can be used to find the closest tagname without any suffix:
git describe --abbrev=0

Exercise: Nutrition Facts

    Create an empty webpage.
    Download nutrition.xml from https://gist.github.com/3000322 and place in your project folder.
    Use AJAX via jQuery or JS API to fetch the file into the page.
    Create a table. For each <food> in the XML file, create a row in the table with the food name and nutritional facts - serving size, calories, carbs.
    Bonus: Use the tablesorter jQuery plugin to make the table sortable by the nutritional facts.
