Not just OSX: anyone using WSL on windows is an offender too
But as a WSL user, dockerised Dev environments are pretty incredible to have running on a windows machine.
Does it required 64 gig of ram to run all my projects? Yes. Was it worth it? Also yes
I’m even worse, I have used wsl in a windows vm on my mac before haha
Add a JVM just for the hell of it
Can someone please explain me like i am 5 what is docker and containers ? How it works? Can i run anything on it ? Is it like virtualbox ?
A container is a binary blob that contains everything your application needs to run. All files, dependencies, other applications etc.
Unlike a VM which abstracts the whole OS a container abstracts only your app.
It uses path manipulation and namespaces to isolate your application so it can’t access anything outside of itself.
So essentially you have one copy of an OS rather than running multiple OS’s.
It uses way less resources than a VM.
As everything is contained in the image if it works on your machine it should work the same on any. Obviously networking and things like that can break it.
I mean I have Debian running an Ubuntu VM running docker. It’s VMs all the way down baby

A photo of an opened semi-trailer unloading a cargo van, with the cargo van rear door open revealing an even smaller blue smart car inside, with each vehicle captioned as “macOS”, “Linux VM” and “Docker” respectively in decreasing font size. Onlookers in the foreground of the photo gawk as a worker opens each vehicle door, revealing a scene like that of russian dolls.

When I was in school I once used a IOS emulator running inside a docker container of MacOS running on a linux machine. It works surprisingly smoothly.
