@rabkins Do you have Kubernetes enabled? We know that has some CPU load.

ebriney · 2020-11-16T14:04:22Z

@rabkins : In the diagnostic you provided, you have 4 running containers for 12% CPU which seems acceptable

This is the same issue reported here in #4994.

Also note that the energy impact issue is also still there. The only way to make it stop draining the battery on my laptop (while the power cable is plugged in!) is to either set the CPU cores down to 1 or just exit docker until the laptop can charge to 100% and try it again. Very frustrating.

infolock · 2020-11-18T04:10:14Z

The next closest app that has this amount of Energy Impact is Chrome - and its energy impact (with over 20 tabs opened) is 10.2 lol

JustinTArthur · 2020-11-19T06:44:53Z

I see this on Mojave with 2.5.0.1 so it's not just Big Sur that's affected.

robertrossmann · 2020-11-19T09:13:01Z

Here is my diagnostic ID with hyperkit consuming around 20% CPU with no containers running and occasionally jumping to ~40% CPU with Redis & Postgres v9.6 containers running after receiving load from a test suite.

Diagnostic ID: 70E7E5DC-537D-45A7-A195-C291A623CB2A/20201119085501

Here is a sample of the hyperkit process captured in macOS 11. There is a weirdly deep stack calling camlLwt_main__run_loop_129, see the screenshots. This looks highly unhealthy... 🤔

I have the same problem, running Catalina (pre big sur)

15-40% CPU usage without any running containers. No Kubernetes.

N1gma · 2020-11-19T18:14:47Z

Does some1 even working on this? Its literally impossible to use docker on mac - getting 300% CPU usage.

Andorxor · 2020-11-19T19:25:35Z

I've been using kde neon linux for a year now and never faced any issues with docker. Some folks persuaded me to switch to the shiny mac :) 70% of battery usage is due to docker. Most of the time with no containers.

stephen-turner · 2020-11-20T13:42:12Z

Yes, we're working on this. We made a lot of improvements to the CPU recently, but it seems to have regressed again. We're not sure why: we suspect it's something in one of our upstream dependencies that has changed, but we're still looking into it.

Update: We've pinpointed this to the new Linux kernel we took between 2.4 and 2.5. We see the CPU load of a supposedly idle system double across that boundary.

This conversation is currently going on in two tickets. I'm going to combine them by closing this one in favour of #5044. Please follow that ticket for updates. Thanks.

tomchapin · 2020-12-09T19:31:44Z

My battery keeps slowly draining all day even when it is plugged in, often running completely out of battery and dying before I even reach 5 PM. The only solution that worked was to kill programs that were using excess energy (such as Docker).

I finally called Apple support about the issue and they revealed to me that the new macbook pro laptops are designed to pull energy from the battery whenever the CPU needs extra power. So the charger only provides 96 watts, but the laptop can boost to higher wattage usage when needed, and when it does so, it pulls this extra wattage from the battery.
Unfortunately, they told me that this behavior was automatic and there was no way to disable it.

I did a little bit of digging, however, and I discovered a tool called “Turbo Boost Switcher” that allows you to toggle off Turbo Boost on your mac. http://tbswitcher.rugarciap.com/

The moment I disabled Turbo Boost, my macbook battery amperage draw went from -187 (slowly draining the battery) up to +138 (slowly charging the battery).

I believe I have finally fixed the problem! Unfortunately, this means I have to throttle my laptop so it doesn’t run as fast, which is annoying… but at least it shouldn’t die on me anymore, hopefully…

For now, my solution is using multipass tool to install VM based on Ubuntu then I installed Docker to it and it works properly. Yes, there's a problem with path mounting, but multipass has support for that. The problem is it uses SSH for everything. I don't need path-mapping and SSH is enough for me. CPU usage with no containers no more than 2%. (2 CPUs, RAM 4Gb). When I've started a few containers (postgres, redis), it doesn't use a lot of resources, about 7%. But RabbitMQ uses a bit high CPU, that hyperkit process uses about 10% of CPU, and I very like that.

betesh-at-data-axle · 2021-01-17T00:27:12Z

This did not work for me. I'm not sure if it's the same issue though--What I'm seeing is that Docker.raw very quickly fills the allotted disk space during a docker build and then CPU of hyperkit spikes to the maximum number of cores allowed, stays there indefinitely, and the build hangs.
