Ask HN: Is there a Docker alternative that flawelessly works with Windows?
Few years with various Linux distributions and I decided to go back to Windows as main OS. Bought Pro license, to let Docker run with Hyper-V and everything seemed to work fine, my mixed Node/PHP web app worked flawelessly, my MariaDB database with DB storage files mouted from host OS started up without a problem. I even tested how fast files created on docker container will be visible in Explorer - it was almost instant. Great. Files written on host seemed to be visible on container as well.
Then I found out that container won't get file system notifications about files being changed on host. This is a big issue for web apps development.
There are workarounds. None of them are straight-forward and just-works[tm]. Polling (on container) is not an option for me. Some stuff may emerge in the future, but nothing currently work out of the box and is not troublesome to setup.
So I'm looking for Docker alternative that just-works[tm] with Windows. That has proper synchronization out of the box and will do the same job as Docker is doing (I'm NOT searching for compatibility with Docker images or something).
