also you could just Containerize All The Things on macos idk
- cchance 2y agoYa like i get the love for linux, but seriously give MacOSX a try for a while, its pretty damn good lol
- kaladin-jasnah 2y agomacOS simply doesn't work if I want to run this as a home server, which is my primary use case for an Apple silicon Mac. Most server applications are first class citizens on Linux, like Docker and Kubernetes and caddy/nginx (I know ports exist but there's more documentation and experience on Linux). Furthermore, systemd is a lot more documented than launchd and generally speaking it's easier to do things like upgrading headless, setting up NFS, and the like. I wish Apple offered these machines with official Linux support, but that's antithetical to their philosophy.
- darthrupert 2y agoFor most developer things it's slightly worse, so to have to pay extra for it is a bit silly.
- fulafel 2y agoThere's no container support on macOS unfortunately, except for the frontends for linux virtual machines. (Well they do have a thing called containers, but it's a desktop app security/sandboxing feature that does something conceptually different)
- gorbypark 2y agoThere's an extremely experimental/feature limited 3rd party implementation of macOS native containers. It requires disabling all sorts of security features, though.
