Last time I quipped that I’ve successfully updated Docker for Mac I’ve got an avalanche of replies to try https://orbstack.dev

Which I did.

My friends, those reply guys were 100% right. This blows Docker, Colima & what have you completely out of the water. It’s a drop-in replacement for the docker backend & JUST WORKS. It feels faster, but most importantly the update works.

It also has incredibly cool lightweight Linux Machines that I can best describe as WSL—all with full Rosetta support.

@hynek do you know if bind mounts are any faster than on Docker Desktop?

@oinopion everything feels much snappier, but you’ll have to try yourself. it’s really simple and easily reversible: https://docs.orbstack.dev/docker/file-sharing
