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 I’ve been using Orbstack for over a month now and I’m just blown away by how seamless it is specially IPv6 on MacOS. This is the first docker desktop alternative for macOS which has native support for IPv6 built. If this ends up being a paid product I’d be happy to do so.

@netops2devops I’m a simple man: I’m already ecstatic that it doesn’t eat 20% CPU while idle 🎉
