@tianyax There are a some questions that I have ...

• Does nerdctl support all commands that docker supports?
• Is there a plan to maintain compatibility with docker command similar to podman?
• Is there a nerdctl go library available that can be used instead of the command directly? And if so can that be used for nerdctl?
• Is is there windows support for containerd and nerdctl?
• What sort of documentation and support is needed for nerdctl when used with dapr?

These questions would help clarify adding support and documentation in the dapr CLI.

@mukundansundar
For 1,2,5:
nerdctl is a Docker-compatible containerd CLI, and as far as I know it will always be compatible, the community is active (maybe I'll contribute a PR fix if there are some incompatibilities), many users often use alias docker=nerdctl for a consistent experience with docker, so we probably don't need additional documentation(some environment variables may be excluded).
For 4:
nerdctl and containerd are supported by windows, but I haven’t actually used it. I need to verify the integrity of the function on windows，but macos does not support containerd and nerdctl.
For 3:
nerdctl go library? I don't see this at the moment, maybe we can use the nerdctl project directly. If the function is simple, is it better to reduce the import of packages?

@mukundansundar Sorry, the --network-alias parameter is not supported when nerdctl run the container, I will try to fix it, this feature may need to be delayed..

@tianyax Is it possible to use containerd with https://github.com/abiosoft/colima or with Rancher desktop on Macos ?

@pravinpushkar colima and rancher-desktop both use lima, which implements containerd support on mac by starting a qemu vm and using the containerd runtime inside it. which makes me think it's not a supported runtime on the mac itself, so I filtered it out. But this should be supported, I will test it later.
