[HELP] How can I bind mount in Docker on Mac efficiently? (discuss.tchncs.de)

When running docker dev environment with Linux and Windows (with WSL2), it's already in the same container context so the performance is decent. However, on Mac there's no WSL2 equivalent so bind mounts are painfully slow due to the overhead of translation between the Mac's and container filesystem.
Is there any way to run the code in docker VM like WSL2 allows?

Instead of using something like a bind mount you could try using a Network file share like NFS which has pretty good performance or you could use samba but performance is not its strong suit.
