Lower the docker version in colima or include the repositories file #1488

Description

The file structure contained in the image package exported by docker save on my local machine's docker:

- blobs
- index.json
- manifest.json
- oci-layout

The file structure contained in the image package exported by docker save using the server (docker version=v26.1.4):

- blobs
- index.json
- manifest.json
- oci-layout
- repositories

How can I set up the file structure in the image package exported by my local machine to also include the repositories file? I'm not sure if it's caused by the relatively high version of the docker server. I tried to reduce the docker server version in the colima virtual machine, but failed. I try to modify. Colima/default/colima yaml the docker. Version or env. COLIMA_DOCKER_VERSION have no effect (this is AI told me). Could you please tell me how to lower the docker version in the virtual machine if possible.

Version

colima version 0.9.1 (installed by brew install colima)
arch: x86_64
client: v26.1.4
server: v28.4.0

Operating System

macOS Intel 15.7.2 (Sequoia)

    - 8.8.8.8
  
  # DNS hostnames to resolve to custom targets using the internal resolver.
  # This setting has no effect if a custom DNS resolver list is supplied above.
  # It does not configure the /etc/hosts files of any machine or container.
  # The value can be an IP address or another host.
  #
  # EXAMPLE
  # dnsHosts:
  #   example.com: 1.2.3.4
  dnsHosts:
    host.docker.internal: host.lima.internal
  
  # Replicate host IP addresses in the VM. This enables port forwarding to specific
  # host IP addresses.
  #   e.g. `docker run --port 10.0.1.2:8080:8080 alpine` would only forward to the
  #   specified IP address.
  #
  # Default: false

# Forward the host's SSH agent to the virtual machine.

# EXAMPLE - disable buildkit

# Virtual Machine type (qemu, vz)
# NOTE: this is macOS 13 only. For Linux and macOS <13.0, qemu is always used.
#
# vz is macOS virtualization framework and requires macOS 13
#
# NOTE: value cannot be changed after virtual machine is created.
# Default: qemu
vmType: vz

# Port forwarder for the virtual machine (ssh, grpc).
# ssh is more stable but supports only TCP.
# grpc supports both TCP and UDP, but is experimental.
#
# Default: ssh
portForwarder: ssh

# Utilise rosetta for amd64 emulation (requires m1 mac and vmType `vz`)
# Default: false
rosetta: false

# Enable foreign architecture emulation via binfmt (e.g. amd64 on arm64, arm64 on amd64)
# Default: true
binfmt: true

# Enable nested virtualization for the virtual machine (requires m3 mac and vmType `vz`)
# Default: false
nestedVirtualization: false

# Volume mount driver for the virtual machine (virtiofs, 9p, sshfs).
#
# virtiofs is limited to macOS and vmType `vz`. It is the fastest of the options.
#
# 9p is the recommended and the most stable option for vmType `qemu`.
#
# sshfs is faster than 9p but the least reliable of the options (when there are lots
# of concurrent reads or writes).
#
# NOTE: value cannot be changed after virtual machine is created.
# Default: virtiofs (for vz), sshfs (for qemu)
mountType: sshfs

# Propagate inotify file events to the VM.
# NOTE: this is experimental.
mountInotify: false

# The CPU type for the virtual machine (requires vmType `qemu`).
# Options available for host emulation can be checked with: `qemu-system-$(arch) -cpu help`.
# Instructions are also supported by appending to the cpu type e.g. "qemu64,+ssse3".
# Default: host
cpuType: host

# Custom provision scripts for the virtual machine.
# Provisioning scripts are executed on startup and therefore needs to be idempotent.
#
# EXAMPLE - script executed as root
# provision:
#   - mode: system
#     script: apt-get install htop vim
#
# EXAMPLE - script executed as user
# provision:
#   - mode: user
#     script: |
#       [ -f ~/.provision ] && exit 0;
#       echo provisioning as $USER...
#       touch ~/.provision
#
# Default: []
provision: []

# Modify ~/.ssh/config automatically to include a SSH config for the virtual machine.
# SSH config will still be generated in $COLIMA_HOME/ssh_config regardless.
# Default: true
sshConfig: true

# The port number for the SSH server for the virtual machine.
# When set to 0, a random available port is used.
#
# Default: 0
sshPort: 0

# Configure volume mounts for the virtual machine.
# Colima mounts user's home directory by default to provide a familiar
# user experience.
#
# EXAMPLE
# mounts:
#   - location: ~/secrets
#     writable: false
#   - location: ~/projects
#     writable: true
#
# Colima default behaviour: $HOME is mounted as writable.
# Default: []
mounts: []

# Specify a custom disk image for the virtual machine.
# When not specified, Colima downloads an appropriate disk image from Github at
# https://github.com/abiosoft/colima-core/releases.
# The file path to a custom disk image can be specified to override the behaviour.
#
# Default: ""
diskImage: ""

# Size of the disk in GiB for the root filesystem of the virtual machine.
# This value is ignored if no runtime is in use. i.e. `none` runtime.
# Default: 20
rootDisk: 20

# Environment variables for the virtual machine.
#
# EXAMPLE
# env:
#   KEY: value
#   ANOTHER_KEY: another value
#
# Default: {}
