Meet Dory: a free, open-source Docker Desktop and OrbStack alternative for Mac. One shared VM for all your containers (~4.7x less idle RAM), a real docker socket, one-click Kubernetes, full Linux machines for all dev work. ~6 MB, no Electron, no accounts, GPL-3.0. augani.github.io/dory

@python_xi the honest answer is nobody's using these alternatives because they're too heavy and hard to manage. dory seems like a more practical solution, but we'll see if it sticks

@python_xi @ajdapralem i’m building my version, going to release soon. nice work

@python_xi hell yea

@python_xi Can it do USB passthrough on Mac hosts?

@python_xi @ivanfioravanti What’s wrong with colima?

@python_xi Curiously wondering how it differs from something like Podman which is also open and great

@python_xi You literally said "fuck windows users"

@python_xi How does it compare to Orbstack? Why should I use it over Orbstack?

@python_xi Already support for docker compose?

@python_xi Why mention OrbStack specifically? They have custom linux kernel to translate vm calls to host's so unless you do something better than that, you're not really an alternative. You're just another hypervisor like everyone else

@python_xi Downloading….

@python_xi Seems cool! Can I migrate and bring my existing docker compose files and its data to it?

@python_xi This looks very promising. I’ll give it a try

@python_xi What’s the main difference between Dory and Orbstack? I use orb now and happy to do anything to reduce cpu and memory consumption

@python_xi what timing lol, just uninstalled orb yesterday

@python_xi Awesome. Thank you. Does it support k8s?
