Lima: A nice way to run Linux VMs on Mac
I recommend having a look at [1] which allows you to run lightweight alpine VMs on MacOS with easy port forwarding, file sharing, and you can easily run docker inside of it and use docker context to target it.

Lightweight Alpine VMs on macOS
I don't see the point of a dedicated tool for this when it is easy enough just to start a Alpine docker container with a couple commands. As this project is just a wrapper for docker and LXD[1] and those tools are already easy enough for the average SWE to interact with, the project seems to just over-complicate an already existing workflow.

LXD containers on macOS at near-native speeds
It uses almost same mounting tech as colima (9p)
Macpine: https://github.com/beringresearch/macpine/blob/71788e9c3c09c...
colima: https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/blob/7ebcf14a69158afa43b2...
So it seems that it has same performance as colima project as well.
As for IO performance, see this colima issue https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/issues/146#issuecomment-1...

Ask HN: Tips to get started on my own server
If you use a Mac and just want to mess around with linux try something like Orbstack(https://orbstack.dev/) to start up VMs and mess around. The benefit of this is you're going to break things a bunch as you get started. Going from there I'd start looking automating the deployment of the various components the 'old fashioned' way aka writing shell scripts/using SSH. Once you do that then go to using things like Ansible or Terraform etc.

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2024)
OrbStack | Founding Engineer | US/Europe REMOTE | Full-time | https://orbstack.dev
OrbStack is making Docker containers & development environments delightful. Our app replaces Docker Desktop and makes containers faster, lighter, and easier to work with. It's the tool of choice for PlanetScale, Replicate, and other hot companies.
Containers should be a joy to use, not something you have to put up with. Let's build the future of dev envs.
As a founding engineer, you'll mainly work on breaking high-level ideas down into tough systems problems, solving them, and taking ownership of projects. If https://cpu.land and https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture excite you, you'll be right in place.

How Virtualisation came to Apple Silicon Macs
Before you give up, give OrbStack a try: https://orbstack.dev/
It’s significantly faster than Docker and some users in the Discord community have been able to use it to run hand-built Linux x86 VMs on Apple Silicon.
It’s a paid product though, but you can download it for free and try it out before paying.

If you haven't installed a Docker runtime, you might be happy with Orbstack. Other alternatives: DDEV docs: Docker installation.

Podman Desktop v1.5 with Compose onboarding and enhanced Kubernetes pod data
For MacOS I can really recommend https://orbstack.dev
It integrates very nicely, has very low CPU idle usage and also lets you quickly spawn VMs with bidirectional file sharing set up.
Since I switched I haven't looked back.
