If you use #limavm to build #linux stuff on a #mac, be careful - the #virtiofs driver is speedy but the case insensitivity of the underlying filesystem is also passed through. The kernel build does not like this.

Ever wanted a VM, but without all that "clicking through an installer through emulated VGA" nonsense?
Why can't you just boot from a folder with a file system?
Well, with #virtiofs you can!

Does anyone else keep thinking about the potential of #microVM|s and #virtiofs?

@perigrin It’s better now with #virtiofs: https://www.docker.com/blog/speed-boost-achievement-unlocked-on-docker-desktop-4-6-for-mac/

# Then remove the app, too:^
$ sudo rm -rf /Applications/Docker.app

And start from scratch.

#VirtioFS appeared to be the problem initially, but with full hard darn you -reset it seems to now work just fine on M1 mac with Ventura.

#Colima just released v0.5.0 with support for #VirtualizationFramework and #virtiofs on #macOS! This should not only improves performance but enables hot/live reloading¹, bringing it on par with #DockerDesktop as a development platform for me. Congrats to the team!

¹) It used #qemu to run the host VM and #sshfs for mounting volumes before
