I have also started swapping to colima due to docker-desktop reliability being pretty bad, and would love colima support.
In the meantime, you can run:
docker save myimage > image.tar
dive docker-engine://image.tar
@jhogendorn dive docker-engine://image.tar
doesn't seem to work for me after saving an image to a tar:
docker save my-valid-image:latest > image.tar
dive docker-engine://image.tar
Image Source: docker://docker-engine://image.tar
Fetching image... (this can take a while for large images)
Handler not available locally. Trying to pull 'docker-engine://image.tar'...
invalid reference format
cannot fetch image
exit status 1
oh, apologies i mistyped.
dive docker-archive://image.tar
A simple fix for this right now is just running sudo ln -sf ~/.colima/docker.sock /var/run/docker.sock
every time after colima start

this works for me
If you setup the DOCKER_HOST
environment variable to point to colima in your shell configuration, dive (and other docker tools) will work out of the box. No need to manually update a symbolic link.
~/.zshrc
file.~/.bashrc
.export DOCKER_HOST=unix://$HOME/.colima/docker.sock
to the file.source ~/.zshrc
or source ~/.bashrc
to apply the changes to the existing terminal session. +1
According to colima FAQ what is missing in dive is support for Docker contexts (https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#cannot-connect-to-the-docker-daemon-at-unixvarrundockersock-is-the-docker-daemon-running):
However, some applications are not aware of Docker contexts and may lead to the error.
I built the same image on colima and docker desktop (Intel mac), and only the docker one worked. It sounds like lima isn't supported yet, so I'd like to request that feature in the future!
