My main dev machine is Linux so I use Rancher Desktop but I also have a MacBook Pro m1 machine. Orbstack is so much better than rancher and docker desktop. I know they are a small company but hell if their product isn’t significantly more efficient and better.
- throwaway817472 2y agoCompletely agree. I moved from docker desktop to rancher after an update blew away my kubernetes cluster, and then from Rancher to Orbstack due to a number of bugs that were crashing the underlying VM. Orbstack has been rock solid (aside from one annoying networking issue), and it uses significantly less battery. They’ve done a fantastic job.
- jml78 2y agoOnly complaint is that my home network assigns IPv6 addresses and that fucks up external dns lookups for pods in Orbstack.
- fl0id 2y agoPodman-Desktop is also great b/c it now has gpu support on macOS (for the Linux container)
- moogly 2y agoI could not get LocalStack to run on Podman (w/ Docker emulation), on Fedora, so had to go back to Docker.
- kdrag0n 2y agoLove to hear that :) sent you an email about the k8s IPv6 issue — should be able to get it fixed in OrbStack
