Finch doesn't work out of the box with OpenSearch

[ekielley]

What is the problem you're trying to solve?. I am trying to build OpenSearch from source according to their Developer Guide (here) with Finch running instead of Docker Desktop. When doing this, it appears that OpenSearch checks for the existence of Docker executables and fails when it doesn't find them. The specific command that is failing is ./gradlew assemble.

Describe the feature you'd like I would like a more 1:1 mapping between finch commands and Docker Desktop commands such that I can use one or the other without much hassle.

Hi @ekielley , thanks for trying finch. It looks like OpenSearch hardcodes the path to docker binaries . I have opened a ticket in OpenSearch to support finch https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/issues/9933
