Is it possible to use ctop with Colima on macOS?

[fosron]

I'm trying to use Colima and Docker on macOS with ctop and i'm getting this

I found the socket URL using

colima status
...
INFO[0000] socket: unix:///Users/***/.colima/default/docker.sock

But trying it using ctop -connector does not seem to work.

panic: invalid connector type "unix:///Users/***/.colima/default/docker.sock" [recovered]
	panic: invalid connector type "unix:///Users/***/.colima/default/docker.sock"

Ok found a solution:

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

Adding a note for future generations:

colima can be ran with either containerd or docker runtime.
(see ~/.colima/default/colima.yaml; if you have to use colima nerdctl then it's containerd runtime).

the solution above works for docker runtime, but obv., not for containerd runtime.
