> Docker is the Myspace of container engines. It's stupidly unreliable, at least on MacOs. I've resorted to running system prune every week or so to keep it from getting totally out of control.

Well Docker for Mac is really just binding the CLI towards the daemon, that is running in a Linux VM. But the integration is far from optimal.

I've been using latest Docker, sometimes with the bundled Kubernetes on macOS for years without such issues.

Of course it's still just a Linux VM.

It may be related to how many containers I run. Usually at least ten, sometimes 30. Usually the problem isn't daemon itself, but all the garbage integration attached to it

Docker on anything other than linux is a meme right now, the support is pretty bad and stuff straight up doesn't work for arcane reasons that aren't mentioned
