Mark Shust Performance Tuning Docker for Mac January 30, 2018 2 min read Edit on GitHub There are many various improvements you can make to Docker for Mac to fine-tune performance, especially when working with large application filesystems such as those with Magento or Zend Framework.

My MacBook Air just spins fans, and fswatch events get delayed or stop working just because there is not enough computing power to go around.

Set the computing resources dedicated to Docker to at least 4 CPUs and 8.0 GB RAM.

Be sure the Disk image location value ends with the file type Docker.raw.

The new raw filesystem ensures you are using the latest image format for performance.

If you dont see this or instead see something like qcow2, edit the filePath property of the file LibraryGroup Containersgroup.com.dockersettings.json extension from.qcow2 to.

Basically, you want to add a property of storage-driver: overlay2.

Add the root location of where your website files and composer home are located.

These are most likely the only folders you need to bind-mount to Docker.

This makes sure Docker is not unnecessarily listening for filesystem changes in other locations.

This postpones writes back to the host in order to achieve higher filesystem throughput.
