To make VSCode remote containers work with colima, see here: # Start Colima VM (can be supplied with cpu, memory, and disk flags) This will also install xcode cli tools (git, compiler toolchains, …)Ĭurl -SL -o ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-composeĬhmod +x ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose You can think of Homebrew as the apt package manager for Mac, but you can install almost all important GUI Apps, fonts, etc.

Also, let me know if you have more suggestions, especially regarding Mac settings. This is my first Mac, so please let me know if I’m doing something stupid or suboptimal. I hope this saves my future self and my colleagues some time setting up their machine. I documented most steps I did for the initial setup. I recently switched to an M1 MacBook Pro.

For now, Docker Desktop solves my problems. The reason is permission issues when bind mounting volumes from MacOS. Unfortunately, I could not get our VSCode Development Containers running with Colima. Since I don’t need Development Containers for my new project, I ceased the opportunity and tried out NeoVIM and love it so far.
