## Speed up with docker-sync
Docker on the Mac [is slow](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/77), at the time of writing. Especially for larger projects, this can be a problem. The problem is [older than March 2016](https://forums.docker.com/t/file-access-in-mounted-volumes-extremely-slow-cpu-bound/8076) - as it's a such a long-running issue, we're including it in the docs here.
In simple terms, docker-sync creates a docker container with a copy of all the application files that can be accessed very quickly from the other containers.
On the other hand, docker-sync runs a process on the host machine that continuously tracks and updates files changes from the host to this intermediate container.
Out of the box, it comes pre-configured for OS X, but using it on Windows is very easy to set-up by modifying the `DOCKER_SYNC_STRATEGY` on the `.env`
#### Usage
Laradock comes with `sync.sh`, an optional bash script, that automates installing, running and stopping docker-sync. Note that to run the bash script you may need to change the permissions `chmod 755 sync.sh`
1) Configure your Laradock environment as you would normally do and test your application to make sure that your sites are running correctly.
2) Make sure to set `DOCKER_SYNC_STRATEGY` on the `.env`. Read the [syncing strategies](https://github.com/EugenMayer/docker-sync/wiki/8.-Strategies) for details.
```
# osx: 'native_osx' (default)
# windows: 'unison'
# linux: docker-sync not required
DOCKER_SYNC_STRATEGY=native_osx
```
2) Install the docker-sync gem on the host-machine:
```bash
./sync.sh install
```
3) Start docker-sync and the Laradock environment.
Specify the services you want to run, as you would normally do with `docker-compose up`
```bash
./sync.sh up nginx mysql
```
Please note that the first time docker-sync runs, it will copy all the files to the intermediate container and that may take a very long time (15min+).
4) To stop the environment and docker-sync do:
```bash
./sync.sh down
```
#### Setting up Aliases (optional)
You may create bash profile aliases to avoid having to remember and type these commands for everyday development.
Add the following lines to your `~/.bash_profile`:
```bash
alias devup="cd /PATH_TO_LARADOCK/laradock; ./sync.sh up nginx mysql"#add your services
alias devbash="cd /PATH_TO_LARADOCK/laradock; ./sync.sh bash"
alias devdown="cd /PATH_TO_LARADOCK/laradock; ./sync.sh down"
```
Now from any location on your machine, you can simply run `devup`, `devbash` and `devdown`.
#### Additional Commands
Opening bash on the workspace container (to run artisan for example):
```bash
./sync.sh bash
```
Manually triggering the synchronization of the files:
```bash
./sync.sh sync
```
Removing and cleaning up the files and the docker-sync container. Use only if you want to rebuild or remove docker-sync completely. The files on the host will be kept untouched.
```bash
./sync.sh clean
```
**Additional Notes:**
- You may run laradock with or without docker-sync at any time using with the same `.env` and `docker-compose.yml`, because the configuration is overridden automatically when docker-sync is used.
- You may inspect the `sync.sh` script to learn each of the commands and even add custom ones.
- If a container cannot access the files on docker-sync, you may need to set a user on the Dockerfile of that container with an id of 1000 (this is the UID that nginx and php-fpm have configured on laradock). Alternatively, you may change the permissions to 777, but this is **not** recommended.
Visit the [docker-sync documentation](https://github.com/EugenMayer/docker-sync/wiki) for more details.

## Add more Software (Docker Images)
To add an image (software), just edit the `docker-compose.yml` and add your container details, to do so you need to be familiar with the [docker compose file syntax](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/).

[D4m-nfs](https://github.com/IFSight/d4m-nfs) automatically mount NFS volume instead of osxfs one.
