New annoying thing with #DockerDesktop: after every reboot it logs out of my private registry so when I want to `docker compose up` my project it wants to rebuild everything because it doesn't have access to the registry...

#Docker #macOS

@Htbaa Does that happen with OrbStack? I haven’t used Docker Desktop for Mac for years.
@maxfenton never tried OrbStack. I think that’s a paid solution?
@Htbaa I think Docker Desktop for Mac is also a paid product now (if commercial). They’re equivalent but OrbStack is much faster and less energy intensive. Very easy to switch.

@maxfenton Docker Desktop is paid in certain cases. As far as I know a single seater is fine. If not, they can call me 😋.

Don’t care for the Desktop part either. Just need to be able to use Docker.

@Htbaa OrbStack is also free for non-commercial and the only real conflict I’ve seen is with Lando who specifically hardcode references to Docker Desktop paths. https://orbstack.dev/pricing

I’m a huge fan of OrbStack and DDEV which work amazingly well for me.

Say goodbye to slow, clunky containers and VMs. The fast, light, and easy way to run containers and Linux. Develop at lightspeed with our Docker Desktop alternative.

OrbStack
@maxfenton I’ll have a look some day. Hopefully it can be installed next to Docker (not running). One thing I dislike is how Docker Desktop reserves a chunk of disk space for its own VM drive.
