Ask HN: What's the State of Docker on Apple Silicon?

5 pointsby iwebdevfromhomeover 2 years ago
It&#x27;s been a few years since the release of apple silicon. The reason why I haven&#x27;t made the change yet from my trusty 2019 i7 mbp is because of all the articles I read back in the day when the new architecture was first released.<p>Using docker on m1 processors involved using rosetta and making changes to your application dev. configuration to specify the use of x86_64.<p>Is this still the case?<p>People who use Apple Silicon processors as your daily drivers and make use of Docker in development. What is your experience ?

I&#x27;ve tried Docker Desktop, Rancher, Colima, all with various settings (including the disk ones), and it&#x27;s always very, very slow for me (M1 Macbook Pro 16). This is when developing with both a .NET 7 stack and a Node stack.<p>I tried creating a VM and pointing my DOCKER_HOST to that, but it&#x27;s still slow. The main problem is that I&#x27;m trying to work with AMD64 on an ARM64 (due to my constraints).<p>I&#x27;m going to set up an old non-M1 box in my office and use that as my Docker host. I am also tempted to use a cheap remote instance for when I&#x27;m OOO.

Docker on my M1 seems fine? Haven&#x27;t noticed anything out of the ordinary. Running a basic little 5-6 container django&#x2F;celery&#x2F;nextjs setup and no noticeable performance issues.

I use docker on my m1 and have 0 issues. Docker on Mac already runs in a VM so I’m not sure why there’d be a difference once the underlying VM works?

Podman is the path forward.
