From colima back to docker 26.09.26

Here is how to resolve this depending on what you want to achieve:

### Option 1: You want to go back to your original Docker setup
If you prefer to use your native Docker installation and stop using Colima, switch your context back to `default`:

1. **Switch context:**
   ```bash
   docker context use default
   ```
2. **Ensure the native service is running:**
   ```bash
   sudo systemctl start docker
   ```
3. **Verify:**
   ```bash
   docker ps
   ```
   *If your containers appear, you are back to your original setup.*

### Option 2: You want to keep using Colima
If you intend to use Colima, you need to understand that **Colima does not share the same storage as your native Docker.** Your old containers are still sitting in `/var/lib/docker` (managed by the system Docker), while Colima is looking at its own virtual disk.

If you want to use Colima, you should stop the system Docker to avoid conflicts:
1. **Stop the system Docker:**
   ```bash
   sudo systemctl stop docker
   sudo systemctl disable docker
   ```
2. **Restart Colima:**
   ```bash
   colima stop
   colima start
   ```
3. **Note:** You will need to re-pull your images or rebuild your containers within the Colima environment, as they are not shared between the two runtimes.

### 1. Check which Docker context is active
Colima creates a specific Docker context. If your terminal is pointed at the wrong one, it won't be able to "see" your existing containers.

Run this command to see your contexts:
```bash
docker context ls
```
*   Look for a context named `colima`.
*   If you want to go back to your original setup, switch back to the default:
    ```bash
    docker context use default
    ```

### 2. Check the Docker Socket
Colima usually sets the `DOCKER_HOST` environment variable to point to its own socket. Check if this variable is set:
```bash
echo $DOCKER_HOST
```
If it returns something like `unix:///home/user/.colima/default/docker.sock`, that is why your native Docker commands aren't working. You can unset it for the current session:
```bash
unset DOCKER_HOST
```

### 3. Are you running both simultaneously?
If you have the native Docker Engine (installed via `apt` or `dnf`) running as a system service, it might be fighting with Colima for the default socket (`/var/run/docker.sock`).

*   **If you want to use the native Docker Engine:** Stop Colima and disable the service.
    ```bash
    colima stop
    sudo systemctl stop docker
    sudo systemctl start docker
    ```
*   **If you want to use Colima:** Stop the native Docker service so it doesn't interfere.
    ```bash
    sudo systemctl stop docker
    sudo systemctl disable docker
    colima start
    ```

### 4. Verify the status
After switching contexts or unsetting the environment variable, try running:
```bash
docker ps
```
