(dev here) Not right now, but it could be supported in the future. Just opened a feature request for that: https://github.com/orbstack/orbstack/issues/222 Correct me if I'm wrong, but Docker Desktop does

(Dev here) If you're interested in what makes it possible: https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture Happy to go over a specific feature — obviously can't share too many internal details though.

(OrbStack developer here) Yep, feel free to share any ideas you have for pricing!

Yep, my bad, didn't look closely before posting.

Glad to hear that! Saw the issue you opened too — will take a look soon.

Not sure I've heard of a model exactly like that before, but it sounds fairly similar to "1-year updates + fallback perpetual" which is the JetBrains model. I'm kind of leaning towards that, with a monthly option for a l

Glad to hear that, thanks for sharing :) Still working out the details (personal vs. business use, subscription vs. perpetual license, pricing, OSS and student discounts, etc.), but here are some preliminary thoughts (TLDR: difficult choice

Hey HN! I'm Danny, developer of OrbStack. OrbStack is a new way to run Docker containers and Linux machines on macOS that's faster, lighter, and simpler than existing solutions like Docker Desktop, Colima, and UTM. Highlight featu

Aside from looking at the file size, you can check any PNG image with pngcheck [1]: pngcheck good.png OK: good.png (467x389, 32-bit RGB+alpha, non-interlaced, 88.2%). Compared to a vulnerable image: pngcheck bad.png

I didn't realize they already had triggers for compaction, thanks for sharing! I suspect fragmentation is still a major issue (along with page cache management, which DAX should help with), so it'll be interesting to see if/h

I spent some time digging into this for the fast, light, and easy-to-use replacement for Docker Desktop and (co)lima that I've been working on. The root of the problem is that VM memory is allocated on demand, but never freed after it&

Thanks! I'm working on it and I hope it'll live up to your expectations :)

It's a mix of Go, Rust, Swift, and C, but I didn't write any virtualization code—it's all built around Apple's Virtualization.framework because that's the only way to use Rosetta in VMs. (The architecture bits are b

I have seamless ssh agent forwarding for full Linux distros, so if you're running Docker from a Linux shell (like you would in WSL), then the usual way ( https://gist.github.com/d11wtq/8699521 ) should just work. Ma

Great question! I wrote a new userspace network proxy/stack in Go, similar to Docker's VPNKit and built it with performance in mind at all levels. What makes it fast is support for modern NIC features that improve performance sign

No new drivers, but I did make some changes to the Linux kernel. It's mostly a better tuned VM and services on both sides, e.g. a custom fast networking stack in place of Docker's VPNKit. (Also, by "fast VirtioFS", I mea

No formal waitlist yet, but drop me an email (see bio) and I'll let you know when there is!

Yes, Docker CLI will be configured to talk to the VM.

by kdrag0n 4y ago
That's fair, but I think the value proposition is there for some :) I'm honestly not sure how pricing and licensing will work yet, but there will be some way to try it for free. Maybe something like Docker Desktop: free for person
