I don't know the answer to this, but I'm planning on pre-empting these questions from the devs in my organization by deploying VMware integrated containers and telling them they have to use that, not docker!

Provide a NFS share for them either through a VM or via vSAN, StarWind, etc. That makes it a bit more transportable and not tied to vCenter.

Down the road, if it fits with your infrastructure, you can migrate the devs over to vSphere Integrated Containers, but that's not a quick solution for you for this question.
