About:
docker-machine-nfs is a utility that configures NFS shares on a docker-machine host to mount local project directories. This solves the performance issues of Docker's default file sharing on macOS and Windows by leveraging NFS for faster I/O. It automates the complex setup of NFS exports and mount commands.
Key Features:
  • Automated NFS configuration for docker-machine
  • Significantly improves Docker volume performance on macOS/Windows
  • Simple command-line interface
  • Supports custom mount options
Use Cases:
  • Accelerating Docker development environments on macOS
  • Running I/O intensive applications in Docker containers
  • Sharing codebases between host and container efficiently
Alternatives:
  • Docker Desktop – Docker Desktop includes native file sharing but NFS can offer better performance for specific workloads.
  • Mutagen – Mutagen offers advanced file synchronization but is a more complex tool compared to the focused NFS setup of docker-machine-nfs.
