haha wow this is an interesting setup

Sure, to use a different minikube profile, just use "name" in the YAML schema. Here's the YAML schema: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/tilt-dev/ctlptl/pkg/api#Cluster

apiVersion: ctlptl.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Cluster
product: minikube
registry: ctlptl-registry
name: minikube-inner

I played around with this idea and wasn't able to get it working though. first needed to do unset MINIKUBE_ACTIVE_DOCKERD, but then i got stuck with networking issues in the VM.

yeah, found the name option, and tried the setup but got below error (same with minikube -p as well as ctlptl) :

➜  minikube start -p tilt --driver=docker
😄  [tilt] minikube v1.24.0 on Darwin 10.15.6
    ▪ MINIKUBE_ACTIVE_DOCKERD=minikube
✨  Using the docker driver based on user configuration

💣  Exiting due to PROVIDER_DOCKER_NOT_RUNNING: "docker version --format -" exit status 1: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
💡  Suggestion: Start the Docker service
📘  Documentation: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/drivers/docker/

when I run docker ps commond, its able to connect to docker deamon, but with above it is not.

The reason I am trying out this setup on mac is I would like to avoid spining 2 VMs

1. Docker Desktop or equivalent just to run docker deamon
2. minikube

And offcource, with paid subscription for Docker Desktop, its not viable for our org to use it.

However, I am able to spin 2 different VMs using hyperkit driver, but that also is not resource efficient.

for those who are looking for similar setup, I managed to achieve the setup with the help of minikube and kind both.

My primary goals here are :

1. Get docker-deamon working without the need of Docker Desktop, this is achieved with below commands:

minikube start --driver=hyperkit --container-runtime=docker --no-kubernetes
eval $(minikube docker-env)

2. Setup k8s cluster using ctlptl with local registry without much complexity. I installed kind for this and run below commands.

  cat <<EOF | ctlptl apply -f -
  apiVersion: ctlptl.dev/v1alpha1
  kind: Registry
  name: ctlptl-registry
  port: 5005
  ---
  apiVersion: ctlptl.dev/v1alpha1
  kind: Cluster
  product: kind
  registry: ctlptl-registry
  EOF

Its not a clean setup, but it does the job for me now.
