Docker Desktop for Linux (provides docker and compose)
- using native docker can lead to permissions issues with shared volumes, and some of our code (e.g. the Tiltfile) assumes you're running Docker Desktop
- enable Kubernetes in the Docker Desktop settings

to install Taskfile:
- sudo snap install task --classic or other options on their website
- Or via npm: npm install -g @go-task/cli
to install Tilt (don't forget to read the script before running it):
- the script will install tilt into $HOME/.local/bin, creating it if it doesn't exist
  - most Linux distributions put $HOME/.local/bin in your PATH automatically
  - if tilt version doesn't work, try running source $HOME/.bashrc, or log out and log back in
optional but recommended: turn off logging for Docker Desktop
- Docker Desktop's default is to log verbose messages to stderr, which by default gets sent to the systemd journal and/or /var/log/syslog
- This can result in your /var partition filling up fast (one developer saw his syslog grow by multiple gigabytes in a single week)
- To silence Docker Desktop logs, create the following drop-in at $HOME/.config/systemd/user/docker-desktop.service.d/stop-log-spam.conf:
```
[Service]
StandardError=null
```
- This file can be named anything as long as it ends in .conf and is in the correct directory, e.g. override.conf would work. The directory must be named exactly as shown.
