Anyone know how the performance is vs docker desktop on an Intel mac? I moved to using hosted services for local dev because even 1 container running would kill my MacBook
- pxc 3y agoHow much RAM does your Mac have and what was allocates to Docker Desktop?
- willsmith72 3y ago8GB, 3 for docker (I would run 1 container at a time)
- zamalek 3y agoIt could be faster. DD uses a proprietary VM solution to run Linux, while Podman uses Lima. Lima is an extremely active project, while Docker seem happy doing the bare minimum (from my experience at least).
- willsmith72 3y agoCool! I tried lima a while ago and it was way quicker, but painful to set up. Maybe I should try podman
- gbraad 3y agowe are adding vfkit, which is our implementation of the native hypervisor for macos. by default it would currentky use qemu, but lima is an option.
- bongobingo1 3y agoWho is "we", Docker or (co)Lima.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoHad the same question. My 60 second (somewhat creepy) smoothing was not enough to produce an answer, unfortunately.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoSleuthing*
- gbraad 3y agoWe = Podman (machine + desktop) Team
