I was hoping not to read your comment because thats the reason why i stoped playing around with podman.

The frustration of the background VM having some issues on my mac made me switch to paid docker again. I don't have the time to play around with something which i need for work and costs 10$ per month.

And i do prefer opensource

My employer stopped paying for Docker Desktop licenses but I never really understood the appeal in the first place, we definitely faced some issues with our enterprise setup (proxy and registry mirrors, nothing out of the ordinary for a big company).

Colima works pretty well, and documenting a reproducible setup is easy.

If I were willing to spend my own money, I'd pick OrbStack.

It looks like this might be the issue:

https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/334

I wouldn't think that qemu would be associated with a display in the required way here, but maybe being launched by a GUI app that's not a terminal emulator is somehow enough?

Related bug affecting Lima (blocked by this one): https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/issues/2

This is the first I'd heard of 'app nap'. I guess macOS does iOS things and actively freezes apps it thinks are idle.

Maybe it has to do this to get passable battery life during sleep, now that Macs don't actually sleep (S3) anymore?
