Sven A. SchmidtThat is a damn fine error message, #OrbStack!
Actionable and it actually fixes the problem. 💯, no notes.

Carlo ZottmannMy current #Xcode dev setup is wild.
- tiny #Orbstack container (guest) that holds the agents CLIs (see https://github.com/czottmann/macos-agent-ballpits)
- host makes #MCP servers available to the guest for controlling Xcode
- #Beans for planning
- worktrees for separation
- separate/local Xcode derived data folder for every worktree
- container has very selective R/O and R/W folder permissions only
- #ClaudeCode in YOLO mode in the container, weee

Thumbs UpSwitched my #homelab which runs on an old mac mini, from #Docker Desktop to #Orbstack and the resource use dropped to basically nothing. Same exact containers—plus caddy running on the machine to serve orb.local addresses internally with a TLS certificate over Tailscale—and yet it’s using less than half the resources.
ColorcodedI discovered Dockhand a week ago and wow this is exactly what I was looking for a single tool that allows me to update, prune and check the status of all my docker/orbstack containers.
Okay, I've cleaned it up and created a repo: My showcase for securing `claude` or `pi` (or any agent!) in either an #Orbstack container or `sandbox-exec` for #macOS #Xcode work. Safe YOLO mode, less than 5s startup time. Sensible defaults, very reduced setup (I think).

Özkan PakdilI have been testing #OrbStack on #MacOS today and it looked like 3x faster than #Podman do you know why ? Maybe I am missing some configuration. And I was asking this to gpt, GPT shared this table, I am disappointed, I hope podman gets faster.
Ernest de LeónI’ve been brewing some ultra low power coolness in my home lab. I’ll be sharing it soon! Still working out some wrinkles but keeping the entire power envelope under 25 watts is rough. 🤣

Heiko DoesToday I set up #k8s in my MacBook using #orbstack. Used #traefik for ingress and #cloudnativepg as persistent for #keycloak. Now I can start my POC with multiple IDPs/user federation and organizations
SörenNow that #macOSTahoe has been out for a while (I'm mostly fine with it), have people played with https://github.com/apple/container? It has 21k stars and has apparently seen steady development, yet nobody seems to be talking about it.
Is it… viable as a replacement for #Docker or #Orbstack? Has someone made a simple Mac GUI app to manage containers with it? (Or maybe I can use Orbstack for that?)
How about performance?
