docker-sync is a Ruby-based CLI tool that speeds up Docker-based development by syncing code between the host and containers using efficient strategies (like unison/rsync) instead of slow bind mounts. It is aimed primarily at macOS and Windows where Docker file-system performance is poor, and integrates with docker-compose workflows.
Use cases
- speed up docker bind mounts on macos
- sync code into docker containers for development
- use docker for local development on windows
- replace slow volume mounts with unison sync
- run docker-compose with fast file syncing
- develop php or node apps in docker at native speed
When to choose
- you develop with Docker on macOS or Windows and suffer from slow bind mounts
- you want hot-reload workflows with containers without file-watch issues
- you already use docker-compose and want drop-in faster volumes
When to avoid
- you develop on Linux where native bind mounts are already fast
- you use modern alternatives like Docker's VirtioFS or Mutagen that cover your needs
- you need a fully maintained project with active development
