@thenaman047 Thanks for sharing about Orb Stack! I've heard good things about it being a lightweight and stable alternative to Docker Desktop, especially on macOS. 😊 How's your experience with it so far? Do you find it handles everything you need compared to Docker Desktop?

I'd say for 80-90% of docker needs like building, tagging & running containers. It just works flawlessly. The UI has just enough options for most needs. And if you are good with docker commands, it's more than enough.

Anything that runs docker is supported here, docker, docker compose both work seamlessly.

They also have kubernetes support but I haven't given that a shot, but based on how amazing this is for docker. Am sure it'll be the same for kubernetes too.

Glad that worked for you! 😊 I tried downloading and reinstalling as well, but unfortunately, it didn’t fix the issue on my end. That’s why I had to go through the additional steps I shared. It seems like the solution might vary depending on the setup or underlying issue.
