I want x64 docker on Arm , as this could also be massive for server power consumption. But things take time . If your some wiz kid who can crack this puzzle you’ll have a billion dollar startup within 6 months
As someone who’s published on the App Store , having a single binary run on IPhone , IPad and Mac is a much much bigger deal than most of you realize .
- crb002 6y agoI don't want x86 Docker on ARM.
- coding123 6y ago... so what, so no one else should be allowed to want it?
- vbezhenar 6y agoWhat the point of docker if you can't just run single binary everywhere? That was its promise, right?
- tristanstcyr 6y agoI don't think that doing so across architectures is a major goal.
- silly-silly 6y agoYou're confusing docker with java.
- umvi 6y agoThe point of docker is to bundle all the dependencies of a given application into a single place. That way you don't have "works on my machine" problems, because both prod and dev are clean virtualized identical systems (containers)
- happymellon 6y agoNo it wasn't, you are thinking of Java. Docker was snapshots of developer machines you can run in production. They never promised that it would run everywhere.
- tw04 6y agoWhy? I would expect the user experience to suffer on one or both. MS already went down this path and the end result were apps that made compromises to try being usable on both platforms.
- tpetry 6y agoAnd if some startup is doing it, i know enough companies who will instantly buy a better docker for mac solution if it does have better filesystem performance. Accessing the macs filesystem from the docker container is really slow, there are some solution (e.g. docker-sync) but they all stop working after some time.
- hakre 6y agoIs Apple still offering options that such kind of software could actually be developed by non-apple on _their_ system?
- aparashk 6y agoWhat is the x64 on ARM opportunity in a bit more detail? What would drive a billion dollar valuation for such a business? I would have thought that anything of lasting interest would be available in source code and thus ported to run natively on ARM...
- offtop5 6y agoBecause years , if not decades of legacy server code could be ran on Arm without re-writing anything. An EC2 rival could run the same processes using 30% of the power. Plus as ARM tends to run on much smaller devices, you could theoretically save tons of physical space with data centers.
