Run Docker on Linux. No wait.
Decision made.
- rickreynoldssf 4y agoDocker isn't really Docker on MacOS. It's a glorified VM manager.
- abalashov 4y agoI switched to Mac in summer 2021 after 23 years of desktop Linux in all kinds of flavours. I run Docker Desktop on OSX on an M1 Pro and haven't had any issues. Yes, you do need arm64 builds of things; the x86_64 emulation is indeed apocalyptically, unbearably slow. But otherwise, the shift to doing local development in docker-compose has been transparent and seamless.
- nikau 4y agoIt kind of defeats the value of docker though - to run and test the same images as you run in production.
- abalashov 4y agoI'm not sure that's my view of the value of local Docker. That's certainly my view of integration environment/CI-CD docker, but running it on my local machine is more about clean administrative separation from the rest of the OS and vaguely mimicking production -- not exactly mocking it.
