I'm surprised people still use postgresql from homebrew. Like honestly, I use brew for any CLI command only like zsh and git. Well maybe some programming language as well but I would never, ever install database with it unless I'm desperate. Anything that can be dockerized, just use docker.
- ratww 5y agoPostgres from Homebrew used to work extremely well. It was faster and more reliable than Docker, not to mention lighter on your machine. Now, it's unusable.
- latortuga 5y agoI use and love Postgres.app on macOS, separate instances of lots of versions of postgres at the click of a button.
- rrock 5y agoYou’re right. Some of us only realized our mistake when it was too late.
- physicsguy 5y agoIf you've only got a Mac with 256gb of storage, then throwing away ~100gb on containers is a nightmare
- smoldesu 5y ago...because your other 156 gigs are being eaten up by Xcode. Seriously, why the hell does Apple even sell 256gb laptops these days?
- physicsguy 5y agoFor me it's just my personal one I've had for a few years, I couldn't really afford to spend more when I bought it as I was a student. I think the new MBPs start at 512gb now
- DemocracyFTW 5y agoDocker has a considerable barrier to entry if you've never used it before. Flatpack has horrible download sizes and result in non-standard invocation command lines.
