Docker -> Colima?  🔗 **Source:** [Docker -> Colima?](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2026/04/18/docker-colima/) The Docker onboarding process is not great. I learned today that, when setting up local dev environments for wordpress.org and wordcamp.org changes, there is an Open Source alternative called [Colima](https://colima.run/). * MIT-licensed. * Drop-in runtime. wp-env, docker compose, and build scripts work unchanged. * Lighter. No GUI, no tray process, lower memory and CPU usage. * Lower barrier to entry. brew install, no account, no license prompt. * MacOS and Linux only, though, for Windows there’s [Rancher Desktop](https://rancherdesktop.io/). I was able to get everything up and running with Colima and didn’t notice any problems. What would change: the handbook, the wp-env quickstart, and README setup sections would point to Colima as the default, with Rancher Desktop noted as an alternative.
