How to set up colima

Installation:

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

Make sure the following settings are set in the file ~/.docker/config.json:

{
	"credsStore": "osxkeychain",
	"currentContext": "colima",
	"cliPluginsExtraDirs": [
		"/usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins"
	]
}

Start colima and give it enough resources:

colima start --cpu 4 --memory 6 --disk 100 --vm-type=vz

--vm-type=vz fixes the issue with permissions. More here.
