Description

I've found that with DDEV Colima is overall performing better in all contexts than Docker Desktop, and even though it's a young project, it's been surprisingly reliable. That's amazing! And of course we know that it relies on all the upstream projects too, but that's amazing!

I did some performance evaluation comparing DDEV performance across lots of different docker environments on macOS, and colima + mutagen was far and away the best, and almost all colima configurations were better than the equivalent Docker Desktop configurations. https://ddev.com/ddev-local/docker-desktop-and-colima-benchmarking-on-macos/

But that brought up... How do we mention Colima on Twitter? Where do we point people for support?

  • Maybe a community member could come up with a logo?
  • If there's not a twitter handle.. how about getting one?
  • Lima is now using #lima in Rancher slack, but how about a #colima channel there also?

Soon I'll write an article specifically about Docker Desktop alternatives, and focusing on Colima. I'll post it back here. But... where would one post it :)

Thanks for all the great work maintaining a great project!

Research direction
Create a logo design for Colima, a container runtime on macOS. The issue also suggests setting up a Twitter handle and a Slack channel. Look at existing Colima branding (GitHub repo, website) and propose a logo concept. Consider using open source design tools. For the Twitter handle, research availability and propose alternatives.
