Just as an aside, the same process works painlessly with podman, too, if your employer is allergic to Docker. Maybe once or twice a year I get reminded that I’m not using x86 - and it sure is nice to work all day and finish with 60% battery.



Is this battery savings from using podman instead of docker for mac or using docker for max with M1/M2?


Running on ARM itself is a big power savings. Docker Desktop also had issues with CPU load which they might have improved since I stopped using it a couple of years ago. There were a bunch of GitHub issues starting around 2018 which were closed, moved, reopened, and it looks like it’s still a concern whereas with Podman I’ve been able to use it without thinking about it.
