@jamsinclair yeah now it's working with v3.5.1, but thanks to the new docker volumes management (mutagen). No need for NFS volumes anymore (you can also remove your old :cached and :delegated flags)

@dev-danim appreciate the update! Do you have any links around that? I don't see much mention of volume performance improvements in any of the docker blog and github material I'm browsing.

Edit: From what I can gather Docker went with "gRPC FUSE" instead of mutagen that has improved performance and made :delegated, :cached and :ro flags redundant. Still trying to track down which version this moved from experimental to stable. Seems to have flown under the radar.

tldr; as @dev-danim pointed out just update to the latest Docker Desktop build 😸. You may not need NFS mounts anymore.

Is there any special requirement for M1 macs? I am struggling to start containers on it.
Stuck here -> data: addr=192.168.65.2,nolock,hard,nointr,nfsvers=3: invalid argument
