It exposes the Docker socket so you can use the docker client with it. That’s the recommended configuration anyways.

Is there any special configuration required for this? I.e. if I install minikube on MacOS, and download the docker CLI binary separately, will the docker binary just find /var/run/docker.sock and work automatically?

There is special setup required. The docker daemon won't be running on /var/run/docker.sock, needs to point to a network port where the remote host is exposed (ex: tcp:///172.21.108.0:2376).

Aside from starting the Kubernetes cluster, you need to run `eval $(minikube docker-env)` which sets up the environment variables like DOCKER_HOST to point the client at the remote host.
