Multiple active profiles for different architectures

[miquecg]

Hi,

I think it's currently possible to have profiles set for different architectures running containers at the same time. The idea would be to operate with docker within a different profile depending on the shell running the command.

I tried to achieve this by changing docker context but that seems to be global. In a sense it kind of works, because I could perfectly start containers on a shell and then change to another context on a different shell, start other services and all will be working I assume. The only problem is that I need to remember to change contexts back and forth.

Thanks.

You can have the DOCKER_HOST environment set for the current shell, it takes precedence over the context.

The docker socket can be gotten from the output of colima status.

export DOCKER_HOST="unix://$HOME/.colima/default/docker.sock"

All docker commands will thereafter point to the profile.
