- maccard 3y agoMe and docker desktop for Mac do not get on. I've switched to OrbStack and it's a breath of fresh air.
- dxxvi 3y agoMy experience on Mac: - colima: Testcontainers cannot connect to the containers when the tests are ran from the command line (I have env vars DOCKER_HOST=unix:///Users/dxxvi/.colima/docker.sock and TESTCONTAINERS_DOCKER_SOCKET_OVERRIDE=/var/run/docker.sock). However, the same tests ran fine in IntelliJ. - Docker Desktop: doesn't have the above issue. Don't know why.
- dangets 3y agoMaybe this was a typo in your comment, but you should double check to make sure that DOCKER_HOST is set to `unix:///Users/dxxvi/.colima/default/docker.sock` (missing `default` in your line) I just verified running Testcontainers tests via CLI with those env vars you posted. YMMV
- LeBit 3y agoDocker for Desktop got better. I think VirtioFS fixed most unbearable fs slowness. But Rancher Desktop also got better and I just cannot understand why I would use Docker for Desktop instead of the Open Sourced Rancher Desktop.
- bdcravens 3y agoFor several months I've used colima. It seems more performant, and I really don't need the UI. That said, my use cases are pretty basic (mostly just web apps with Docker Compose)
