Comment on Lightweight Alpine VMs on macOSparent

Currently using straight up lima and software emulation. It’s slow but it just about works.

I think there’s stuff that uses it under the hood like colima and rancher.

Basically the issue is that quite a lot of software is amd64 only and they haven’t cross complied binary layers for arm64.

So for local development you have to emulate.

It’s a shame there’s not a way to leverage rosetta2 really.

There is, it works wonderfully well but you have to do a lot of things manually for now.
