homebrew-taps VS for-mac

Production-ready Mac releases can be installed e.g.through brew via kreuzwerker/homebrew-taps:

I use containers on Mac and Windows for development (and we deploy on linux). Docker for Mac is _unusably_ slow in my experience. The VM that it runs is a giant resource hog and a battery hog, and doesn't support ipv6 [0] Docker Desktop itself is (another) resource hog, wildly buggy, and painfully slow. It's the epitome of "shitty electron app".

On windows, docker desktop has all of the same issues as it does on mac. Docker's concept of volumes and file permissions on windows are nonsense. Windows updates and Docker Desktop regularly decide to disagree, [1] It's networking support interferes with other applications (like OpenVPN and the Xbox Game Center) [2].

This bug has been around years and still not fixed as far as I know - see https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/3926

You're not wrong, and not the first to raise this https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6061

https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6867 This github issue might help. What worked for me was deleting the ~/.docker/buildx folder

There has been an outstanding bug [Docker Github] for years with the Docker team who do not seem to be able (or want to) address this - they have closed more than one issue but its still there.. The latest bug report is this one [Docker Github] but I honestly would not bother following it - no idea why they are not fixing this.

Have you checked if any of your other Docker containers become unresponsive at the same time? If so, it could be Docker. I had this issue on Docker for months until they finally came out with an update that works for me (Docker Desktop 4.19.0 for Mac).

It might have something to do with Docker? I was having issues a few months ago with all my containers becoming unreachable or very slow many times per day. I finally upgraded to Docker Desktop 4.19.0 (I’m on a Mac) and everything resolved. There were a few GitHub issues about it, too. You could try running a speedtest within different Docker containers and seeing if there’s a discrepancy. You could also check your RAM and CPU usage for different containers using something like Glances; it could lead to a clue.
