Background & motivation
To solve #1072 and #1140 , #1362 was implemented.
However, this is hacky: it requires setting a magic
DOCKER_HOST
environment variable, which the user needs to know exist. Additionally, it means that Kurtosis is no longer self-contained: it will be reading an environment variable that the user may or may not have set (and the user needs to set in their.bashrc
).Desired behaviour
Kurtosis should be completely self-contained, meaning all Kurtosis settings are read from Kurtosis configs, and the Docker socket should be configurable in the Kurtosis config file. Kurtosis should not read the DOCKER_HOST environment variable.
Kurotsis' new preference algorithm should be:
socket
set in the config block as detailed in SupportDOCKER_HOST
environment variable #1072 (comment)Additionally, we have docs on how to set this in the Kurtosis config file.
How important is this to you?
Painful; the lack of this feature makes using Kurtosis frictionful.
