Rancher Desktop: An alternative to Docker Desktop
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post details the technical steps and configurations required to adapt Rancher Desktop for running IBM Edge Application Manager (IEAM) edge agents on macOS. It outlines the creation/update of the `~/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop/lima/_config/override.yaml` file with specific mount configurations (`mountType: 9p`, `mounts` for `/private/var/tmp`, `/private/etc/default`, `/private/etc/horizon`) and the selection of the '9p' volume type in Rancher Desktop's Virtual Machine preferences. These customizations enable the IEAM edge agent to run as a Docker container on macOS.
