[Docker] Bench response delayed on Mac

[scdanieli]

Hey! I’ve had some trouble turning a MacBook manually into a Frappe/ERPNext-Development-Machine. So I’ve tried the Docker approach, which is working quite well so far. But there’s a little inconvenience. A delay of at least 2 seconds after a bench command was entered.

I’ve installed Docker Desktop via Homebrew (brew cask install docker) and followed frappe_docker/README.md at main · frappe/frappe_docker · GitHub

Any idea? Anyone? There is no delay with the same setup on a Linux machine.

Cheers!

I’ve not tried it on Mac or windows personally. I use it on linux.

Davide uses Mac I guess.

It is recommended you allocate at least 4GB of RAM to docker

• frappe_docker/development at main · frappe/frappe_docker · GitHub

Is it because of this?

@revant_one Thanks for your reply.

I don’t think it has anything to do with the amount of the allocated RAM. I’ve had 4 GB allocated to Docker and everything else is working as aspected speedwise. I believe it’s kind of a Mac specific problem. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to dig deeper into it.

Docker tuning for MacOS

We use the development environment described in Official Docker Updates 2020. However, it runs very slow on MacOS (much faster on Ubuntu). This is a known issue caused by the different file systems. This site suggests to mount the volumes managed by the host as cached and the volumes managed by the container as delegated. Therefore, I’d like to mark everything inside frappe_docker’s development folder as delegated. It seems like the whole frappe_docker directory is mounted in /workspace, but c…
