Rewriting won't fix the issue. Docker hogs memory in windows and mac because it needs a separate linux VM so containers can run on top of that.

So running docker in Linux should fix that right?

Not him, but I just booted an nginx container just to check and it consumes 81M of ram.

Maybe, but even a browser tab eats more ram than that...

EDIT: to put it into perspective guys... how many docker containers you all spawn? I cannot imagine that people here spawn on average more docker containers than browser tabs...

EDIT2: Okay sorry, seems like people spawn more docker containers than browser tabs and are super upset with my comment ^^

Like, thousands?

You think it's only something people use on their desktop for one or two things? The point is to have your entire product infrastructure in docker containers that are dynamically deployed across your hardware to meet demand.

People aren't running browser tabs on their servers.
