- vorpalhex 6y agoThis depends on your base image and what it's doing. If you're running like a large elasticsearch cluster.. you're still running a large elasticsearch cluster. Docker overhead should generally be minimal even with the VM that's running, but make sure to use alpine/slim images.
- powerapple 6y agoAgree. I have never enjoyed running docker on my laptop. If I have to use Docker, I use it on a remote Linux server. I had good experience with Vagrant if I have to use a linux environment locally. The only good thing with Docker on macOS is that you don't need to sudo it.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoIs the problem that Docker is bad at resource management, or that this is just what happens when you're actually running an entire second OS under the hood? I appreciate Docker's approach, but it's definitely a bit of a nuclear option (at least on non-Linux systems).
