@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) Dropping this here for reference, with the latest version of Docker Desktop for Mac you can run into a high cpu issue when mounting the home directory (https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/5200). Disabling the GRPC Fuse filesystem make the CPU issue go away.

hrmmm @Jeremy G (Cloud Posse) mentioned something about the problem being introduced. have you seen this workaround?

Docker really blew it with the 3.x version and people are pretty steamed. If there were an alternative to Docker, people would be flocking to it, which I am sure has some people working to set up an alternative to it. Yes, I knew about turning off gRPC Fuse. Sadly, the alternative, OSX Fuse, as used by Docker, seems to have a memory leak. I had it using > 70 GB of swap. But the CPU is manageable and memory leaked to swap is not a big deal since by virtue of it being leaked, it is never paged back in.

podman is the best alternative I can see https://podman.io/. That could be combined with https://github.com/gyf304/vmcli or https://github.com/machyve/xhyve or https://github.com/moby/hyperkit to make a suitable docker alternative for OSX. You could also use https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2020/02/12/podman-for-macos-sort-of/
