Improve Docker's speed

Nope

Describe the solution you'd like
Currently, it takes about ~3 minutes to load up a homepage from a docker instance on macOS, that's a lot of time 😱. Docker-sync could to be the tool to resolve this issue.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Perhaps the culprit of our speed is our poor configuration.

Anyone with docker knowledge wanting to give this a go is welcome to give it a try.

Just as a feedback, this really seems to be a macOS specific problem. On ubuntu the homepage loads in 3~4 seconds for the first time.

[maestromac]

Thanks for that @gionaufal ! I had a feeling this was the case.

If it's a mac specific speed issue, this might help you out. docker-compose was very slow for me on a mac until I modified my /etc/hosts/ file as described in the comment I linked.

[maestromac]

@j23schoen Thanks for that suggestion. I've tried that and it didn't seem to do anything ☹️. Does that solution work for you with our app?

[j23schoen]

@maestromac when I have a chance I'll clone it and give it a shot and let you know if it helps at all

@gionaufal on windows loads fast too (5 seconds~ for the first time)

[snuderl]

The fix for this is very likely to mount the source volume using delegated option. This can just be added to docker-compose.yml

More info here https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs-caching/

The way we have our docker setup allows to run several projects at the same time in the same image and it's fast, as in <2 sec TTFB (same network, but external server serving the databases).

Maybe I'm missing something, but what are you trying to load? A dev.to clone?

Also, to be able to help further, can you share the configuration?

[maestromac]

@crawlingcity We're simply trying to load localhost:3000. The configuration is in the repository here and here
