Wow, you must be running some large stuff on your laptop?

I too develop on a MacBook Pro - and my iMac - depends where I am as to which one I use.

I think I've only given my iMac 4GB of ram for docker to work with (my laptop only gives docker 2GB), and I load some large DB's in it (there must be about 1-2mil records) and it performs OK, not fast I admit. Maybe that's not large? :)

But you are right - for developing, docker makes things pretty easy. I use "syncthing" to keep my laptop and imac development directory in sync, so when I switch between one or the other, I just kill the containers on my laptop and restart them on the imac and keep going (or visa-versa).

When I'm finished with a feature, I push the code to my github, which (depending on the project), builds the container that ends up on the live server. With a Dockerfile that is consistent between environments there is rarely any localisation issues with deployment...
