Developing with docker under OSX is a huge pain, since sharing code into docker containers make the code-execution about 50 times slower (depends on the solution). Testing and working with a lot of the alternatives made me pick the best of those, and combine this in one single tool: docker-sync
gem install docker-sync
Docker-sync is:
- able to run on all of those docker-machines and also on docker for mac
- it uses either rsync or unison to sync. The container performance is not influenced at all, see performance
- efficient in its way to watch for file changes - even for 12k+ files it will not eat up you CPU
- supports either one-way sync ( rsync ) or two way sync ( unison )
- supports user-remapping on sync to avoid permission problems on the container
Besides performance being the first priority for docker-sync, the second is, not forcing you into using a specific docker solution. Use docker-for-mac, docker toolbox, VirtualBox, VMware Fusion or Parallels, xhyve or whatever!
