#OrbStack

Has anyone ever migrated a macOS system that uses #OrbStack, including Docker volumes and images, to a new device?

I'm a bit concerned about the sparse 8TB file at ~/.orbstack/data/data.img, and what TimeMachine does with it. Issue tracksr of Orbstack predicts some woes?!

TIL: If you're an user, https://orb.local just works.

Thank you to @miketheman for casually dropping this tip

OrbStack und K9S - irgendwie ziemlich cool... nun muss ich nur noch rausfinden, was ich alles schoenes damit machen kann.... #orbstack #rancher #k9s #k8s

I'm seriously considering switching from Docker Desktop to OrbStack on macOS (arm64) for good.

Anyone who made the switch—mind sharing your experiences?

I mostly use compose.yml for my own setups. Are there any drawbacks or missing features you’ve come across in OrbStack that made you go “wish this was here”?

Somebody who uses #orbstack on #macos, can you please test this for me github.com/TheNoim/orbstack-an and report back the output?

You know what? Let me just try out

I might replace my #homelab with a Mac Mini. Currently, I limit my home server to save power, but it has become noticeably slow. Additionally, my platform is quite unstable. While #MacOS might not be the ideal OS for server use, it would suit my needs. For #docker containers, I can use #orbstack, and Plex can run natively. I’d lose the ability to unionize my fs (like how Unraid combines disks), but I’m okay with that. On the plus side, I could finally use the native Backblaze client for backups.

Тестирование производительности Docker клиентов для Mac

Недавно я опубликовал статью OrbStack: Почему я забыл про Docker Desktop , которая вызвала оживленную дискуссию в комментариях. Основные вопросы возникли вокруг производительности различных Docker-подобных решений. Мои аргументы, основанные в первую очередь на личном опыте использования, оказались недостаточно убедительными. Чтобы получить объективную картину и предоставить сообществу реальные данные, я решил разработать комплексный benchmark для сравнения различных решений. В процессе разработки тестов, комментаторы предложили несколько интересных идей, которые помогли расширить список тестируемых движков.

OrbStack: Почему я забыл про Docker Desktop

Работая на MacBook с Docker Desktop, я часто сталкивался с тем, что система становилась менее отзывчивой, особенно при запуске нескольких контейнеров одновременно. Высокая нагрузка на CPU и память заметно влияла на время автономной работы. Но недавно я наткнулся на OrbStack, и это изменило мой рабочий процесс настолько, что я решил поделиться своим опытом. Спойлер: теперь мой MacBook не превращается в печку, батарея держится дольше, а Docker-контейнеры летают.

Is Rails dev with docker still a nightmare of slowness and frustration, in this the year 2024? I am specifically interested in containerizing the Rails app itself, so I don’t have to deal with external dependencies and making sure they are getting discovered correctly by gems. I have heard murmurs about OrbStack being the silver bullet, but I haven’t seen any testimonials or blog posts about it.

Anyone have any suggestions or can point to any success stories?

Hello @hacktoberfest MAC people.
Anyone of you is good with #orbstack or #colima on MacOs?
For me, without a MAC it's impossible to fix it.
I'm thankful for any help, to get the #vault exporter also on MAC running.

Was anyone in my bubble yet able to use #orbstack on #macos with #githubactions ?
or #colima would be also fine.

Or what do you use?

I do know docker-practice/actions-setup-docker - but it's really flaky.

Muito legal esse #OrbStack, virtualizei um Arch Linux no meu já cansado m1 com só 8GB de RAM.
Adeus lima, adeus UTM, adeus podman rs

If you have #orbstack problems where you cannot connect to https on #Safari : disable ipv6 for Docker in the settings.

On #macOS least tedious way to run ALSO full #VM's IHMO (I don't care about #Docker): https://orbstack.dev/

#Apple sucks deeply providing #developer experience but this seems make things somewhat usable. Invention in #orbStack is that VM's use bind mounts (i.e. a bit like #WSL2).

In addition it has great preset gallery, got my Fedora up and running within 3 minutes.
