Hi!
After reading your blog about colima on macos I decided to uninstall docker and give it a try. However, I’m failing to run flox containerize.
This is the error I’m getting:
❌ ERROR: container source command unsuccessful
stderr:
docker: Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type “bind”: bind source path does not exist
Is it not possible to build containers without the docker engine?

I’m going off on a hunch here, but I think this has to do with [Colima mounting volumes as empty if they’re not part of `/tmp/colima` for `/User/$USER`](https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#issue-with-docker-bind-mount-showing-empty). Let me double-check with the engineering team which paths are actually being mounted.
Also, does it give you the path it tried to bind? Or is this the whole error you’re getting?

Thanks, this was the problem!
I was running it outside my home-folder, due to some symlink issue. Moving everything into the home-folder solved the problem!
