Oh, I need Docker a lot. And our target platforms are Linux and OSX, so I just want to have some kind of standard OS on Desktop.
Also stuff like Signal, Spotify etc. I still haven't been able to get running on OpenBSD, maybe some day...
Nicer in a way that setting up the wifi, suspend et. al. just works. And is very easy.
- sdfsdfsdfsdf3 8y agoAh okay, Docker would be a sticking point for me too. Thanks for sharing
- fulafel 8y agoAll the OS X users seem to be content running Docker in a Linux VM. It's more secure that way too, fitting with OpenBSD mentality :) Doesn't help with the desktop OS part though.
- pimeys 8y agoOpenBSD does not yet have kvm support, so you can run qemu, but it'll be very slow.
- gbrown_ 8y agoOpenBSD has its own hypervisor these days https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq16.html https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq16.html
- infiniteseeker 8y agoDo you know how VMM performance compares to something like KVM2?
- dijit 8y agoKVM has more than a decade of performance enhancements from companies like rhel/intel/google. It will definitely perform better. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't experiment and see if the performance hit is something you can accept.
- gsruff 8y agoNot sure if this helps, but OpenBSD does have vmm/vmd. Some have reported success running Docker within a Linux guest. https://medium.com/@dave_voutila/docker-on-openbsd-6-1-current-c620513b8110 https://medium.com/@dave_voutila/docker-on-openbsd-6-1-curre...
- pimeys 8y agoSomething to try next weekend, thanks for the link.
- fstephany 8y agoI don't know how adventurous that may be but you can try to run Docker in a Linux VMM ;)
