(Submitted this via email, but since reports are happening on the forum now, I’m sharing here as well!) Expected behavior File access in volumes should be comparable to access times in non-volumes, similarly to Linux installations of docker, or docker on mac via docker-machine and VirtualBox. Actu…

Ugh, nevermind me. Somehow the one container i was testing still had a shared volume mounted to the same place: .:/myapp. and it was winning out config wise. Once I got rid of that it was fast again. Sorry for the rabbit hole.

I have created a new project called docker-sync: https://github.com/EugenMayer/docker_sync Install it by : gem install docker-sync It supports docker-for-mac and syncing files will not influence the container speed at all, see https://github.com/EugenMayer/docker_sync#performance It also supports…

@eugenmayer That sounds very interesting! I am trying to test it out but hitting a few problems: first problem is installation: gem install docker-sync ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'docker-sync' (>= 0) in any repository ERROR: Possible alternatives: docker_sync I installed docker_sync i…

Please use the github-issue queue so we do not carry this topic offtopic. I confused myself with docker_sync and docker-sync. I removed the old gem (docker_sync) and added a new one docker-sync Install it gem install docker-sync I fixed the task issue, it was a special issue when running docker-…

I added Unison support with 0.0.5, so you can try out both implementation named in this thread ( rsync and unison ). You can chose, per sync point, which strategy to use - so you can also combine rsync and unison depending on the folder you want to sync for your project, which can make a lot of sen…

@eugenmayer You are right, i’ll keep the issues to github, sorry. Just tried it out the new version tho. An excellent work around for now, many thanks!

Hi! Can you show please your docker-sync file? I’m in troubles with permissions for user. I get ‘Permission denied’ because the user is xfs, not www-data.

My absolute last comment on this in this thread, since people will get annoyed, out of good reasons, listing to arbitrary “third part tool issue” in this thread. This thread is for performance issues with docker for mac shared http://docker-sync.io is just a tool to solve that. If you want any help…

Curious why do you need to run a command on the host - Couldn’t you mount a directory using osxfs and then rsync/unison the files to the volume?

File access in mounted volumes extremely slow, CPU bound

Just gave docker-sync a go. Incredible work and Symfony 3 is now loading in 300ms while in debug mode. A small note for anyone giving it a go, ensure you name the sync something new. I named mine the same as a container name and ran into some conflicts.
