I visited your site and don't understand why OrbStack is a thing. It says it's a replacement for Docker Desktop but how is it better?

- kdrag0n 3y agoThe docs have more info: https://docs.orbstack.dev/ https://docs.orbstack.dev/ And a comparison: https://docs.orbstack.dev/compare/docker-desktop https://docs.orbstack.dev/compare/docker-desktop I think you'll find something you like in there :) To name a few: Performance, CPU usage/power efficiency, automatic domain names for containers, access to volumes and image files from macOS, native app, and more.
- jbverschoor 3y agoIt's a few things: 1) Runs containers / VMs ("linux machines"). Here you get a linux instance with access to your complete filesystem (everything is mounted), similar to I guess WSL 2) Full docker compatible + docker-compose 3) As of this week kubernetes support Everything is blazing fast to start (think 100-200ms). Aside that, there's one thing that's awesome: networking. Every container gets a unique IP. No more portmapping. Every containers also gets a unique hostname (+ip) -> testapp.orb.local Every every docker-compose gets a unique subdomain -> web.testcompose.orb.local
