Hey everyone!
As I see, the performance of docker/docker-compose is a pain point for many developers and devops folks. I'm on the list, for sure. ...

Yep, docker isn't natively supported and it is a pain point we Mac users are stuck with.
If and when I run into performance issues with docker on mac, I build a Vagrant box and run docker in there; giving me better control of the performance controls. However, with using the more modern Docker Desktop I find myself doing this less and less these days.
Upgrading to a newer Mac with more ram/cpu is a solution of sorts too :D
Deets:
Thanks for your feedback! That's sad that you need to come up with workarounds if you're a Mac user indeed... I understand now why some DevOps folks choose Linux :) Didn't consider running Vagrant so far but who knows where I will end up :)
When I work from home, I sync my work with a Linux box and use that instead.
Hm, interesting... Do you do this synchronization by Docker Sync?
no, I just rsync my static files and databases from time to time, the rest is all in git.
Nice. I see that Docker Sync is also might be using
rsyncunder the hood, as they say in the description.Good question, I have the same problem. In my work I use Linux and it's very fast, but when running on my Mac it's very slow. I had to install locally to work well.
Yeah, super bad... And the answer is actually right above. Unfortunately, Mac OS doesn't support Docker natively...
I use Internet Explorer as a tool to download a decent browser, and I use MacOS as a tool to connect to a useful development computer.
You can use nfs mount solution. It is slightly harder to set up but it improves I/O performance.
You could look into docker-sync.io/
Actually I've heard about it but didn't try yet. It's time I think! Thanks for sharing it!
