Not a RoR dev but I imagine his deployment environment is also linux, and many of the tools he uses likely run better on Linux (as OSS usually targets linux first). Correct me if I'm wrong but Docker for example, although I think they brought parity recently, was always easier to get going on Linux then Mac.
- majewsky 10y agoDocker is, in fact, impossible to get going on Mac OS. When you see "Docker for Mac", it's launching a Linux VM under the hood, and patching you through to that VM's Docker daemon.
- Mandatum 10y agoIs that still the case? If so, that's crazy - as bad as the old Windows installs with vbox. However that being said, if that is still the case, they must have a wrapper on top of it since I didn't notice much of a difference at all between OSX docker usage and Ubuntu.
- ajdlinux 10y agoIt's not crazy, it's kinda hard to implement containerisation yourself in a proprietary OS kernel that you don't control... However, as of fairly recently, IIUC Docker for Mac uses macOS's native hypervisor framework rather than relying on VirtualBox as it used to.
