Is is possible to use Appwrite without Docker? Docker is super-slow on Macs so I tend to run everything natively. With traditional tools (e.g. Postgres, Redis, etc) this is super-easy. I can just `brew install`.

Side note: I don't know if these were your issues, but Docker for Mac in the last couple of months has drastically improved its memory usage (finally!) as well as its filesystem performance. Obviously nothing will beat running natively, but Docker on the Mac is no longer frustrating.
Yes, we are working on a more native alternative with the likes of a Makefile or some Ansible scripts. However it has not been a major priority since we didn't have many community members ask for it yet.

However, we'd be more than delighted for contributions from the community
