To help you have a better experience, I've documented the process here. And, unfortunately, there isn’t a one-click, easy Podman macOS install, so I had to stitch a couple of few items together to get that quick launch. So, if I couldn’t do the same with Podman, I was going to have to take a hard pass on the replacement. I use Alfred (Spotlight replacement) and launch most things with a quick cmd+space. However, early attempts and initial research proved difficult simply because I wanted it to be just as easy to start Podman on my Mac as is the Docker client. So what in the world could be triggering my fan to such a high level? I discovered that the culprit was Docker. And the only way to rid myself of the noise was a Docker restart.Īt that moment, I added a task to my To-Do list: Replace Docker with Podman. Now, mind you, I have a fairly new and beefy Mac.
Several months ago, I came back to my desk after lunch and to my chagrin, my macOS was making a long constant blowing sound-the fan was on high speed.
