A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

Switched over from Docker Desktop to OrbStack (https://orbstack.dev) on my mac for the last month, and a way better experience—well worth the small cost.

Warpcast's test suite runs almost twice as fast under OrbStack compared to Docker Desktop (running a few containers).

Building @warpcast and @farcaster. Previously Coinbase, Brigade, Causes.

My rough understanding is they integrate with native Mac hypervisor APIs to create lightweight Linux VMs to host the containers.

Their benchmarks claim this saves on power consumption, memory, and overall CPU.

All I can say is that from my anecdotal experience, it is indeed faster. I also like its simplicity compared to Docker Desktop.

This is the targeted ad I’m looking for.

I was just complaining about Docker Desktop always crashing today.

Yes. It's a drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop.

Does it “ just work” with regular dockerfiles and composer setups? 👀

I follow everyone back

If a repo uses docker, can i seemlessly use orbstack instead or will I have to tweak some docker files for it to work ?

The developer is still in school. Insane.
