- speedgoose 4y agoYou probably would prefer colima to get an easy VM for docker/kubernetes using qemu in the background.
- rattray 4y agoNice, thank you! This does look promising. https://www.arthurkoziel.com/replacing-docker-desktop-for-mac-with-colima/ https://www.arthurkoziel.com/replacing-docker-desktop-for-ma... According to this article, file sharing between the container and the host is about 80% faster in Colima than Docker Desktop for Mac, but still much slower than native: # Docker Desktop for Mac IOPS: 1545 Bandwidth: 6.3MB/s # Colima IOPS: 2786 Bandwidth: 11.4MB/s # Native IOPS: 28.6k Bandwidth: 117MB/s Colima doesn't have all the annoying popups, telemetry, and other commercial aspects that turn off many developers from Docker Desktop for Mac. It sounds like a drop-in replacement otherwise. Terrific! I'll still try to keep as much development native as possible for now, but if it ever gets to be a real pain I'll give Colima a try before mixing docker entirely.
