Does anyone know if you can run arm64 images on a x86 Linux machine? I'm currently doing it with Docker and QEMU but it is super slow.
Ideally use multi-arch images or build your own.
OrbStack is by far some of the best software I've encountered on Mac, but unfortunately I have difficulty convincing my employer to pay for a commercial license, and with my sparse Docker usage, I'm confined to using it only for personal/hobby usage. What's amazing is it fixes an (almost) show stopper bug when using libuv (or software that uses it like CMake) with Rosetta 2 [1], with the bug present on all Docker/VMs…

MacBook Air M2 16gb ram leasing: 30€ per month orbstack pro business license: 10€ per month I don't think the hardware cost is prohibitive here. It's the death of a thousand paper cuts of a startup. I agree that orbstack would be a good investment, though.
My (somewhat sarcastic) comment was just that Apple hardware is more expensive than Linux/Windows hardware. If you use Linux then I would say the docker experience is quite good. I wonder if Linux hardware was an option; seems odd to require running stuff under docker but also force people to use macbooks...
Can’t say that for much software to be honest.

I have a machine with Colima and don’t want to bork it if I try Orbstack. I think I used “brew install docker docker-compose colima” and then “colima start”. Is “brew install orbstack” a drop in replacement for colima or does it install other things that might conflict?
Drop-in: "orb" to start, stop it + uninstall + restart Colima to revert. It can optionally install OrbStack's bundled `docker` and `docker compose` binaries, but you can also keep using the Homebrew ones.
# Switch to OrbStack
docker context use orbstack

I switched to Orbstack about 2 weeks ago after having read about it here on HN. I develop a cloud native system entirely writen in Rust. All my own containers are build without Docker thanks to rules oci in Bazel. However, for integration testing, I'm using internal tools that fire up, say a database container and run the tests all from within Bazel to leverage test caching and parallelization. For a while, i was str…
> My CI server uses Firecracker VM's to isolate OCI containers Is this something you built yourself? I've been looking for a CI tool that uses Firecracker but never found anything, I started building something myself but it never really got finished. Would love to drop that project and use something off the shelf.
I love how there is absolutely no mention that it is mac-only (or even what versions of mac are supported), even on the download page.
Yes. I'd like to have something that runs Docker images on desktop but doesn't require a privileged daemon, users, groups, etc.

Spent all the budget on Apple hardware

How/where does one do this?
Err, you guys know that about 80% of desktops are Windows right? There's a bit of a myth that developers are all using macOS but in practice that's not really the case.
