docker-sync performance in Apple M1

#m1 #arm #docker

Syncing by docker-sync is still faster than running by native (out of the box)

Setup

Hardware

  • Apple M1 Pro
  • 32GB
  • Monterey
  • "Enable VirtioFS accelerated directory sharing" experimental feature is checked

Docker for Mac (only)

  • Version: 4.9.1 (81317)
  • Memory: 8GB
  • CPUs: 5

Results

Native
