As you add more files to the virtual disk, it will expand up to its maximum size of 30 GB. After installing your operating system and programs, it may only take up 10 GB.
By default, virtual machine programs will generally use dynamically allocated disks that grow as you use them.įor example, if you create a new virtual machine with a dynamically allocated disk with a maximum size of 30 GB, it won’t take up 30 GB of space on your hard disk immediately. When creating your virtual machine, you can create two different types of virtual disks. I'm on macOS "Catalina" and all works fine now.Create Fixed-Size Disks Instead of Dynamically Allocated Ones I hope this helps anyone experiencing this same slow performance, especially on macOS. With the above changes, now it takes only 2 to 3 seconds!
#Mac os in virtualbox runs slow free#
In the terminal, the simple task of running npm run dev or any php artisan commands took about 10 to 15 seconds until the prompt was free to proceed with other commands. also you may increase memory size (I didn't) and set the value greater than the default that is settings ||= 2048.īefore I tried almost every solution found on the web, from ensuring nfs was set, adding scripts and other suggestions and none worked until I increased the cpu default value settings to settings ||= 2 Wherever you find in your homestead.rb file, the settings for settings ||= 1 change it to settings ||= 2.
http įor those running Homestead on macOS "High Sierra" or later, the solution that worked for me was as simple as changing a few settings in the homestead.rb file. For the sake of completeness and the possibility there could be tweaked even a little bit more, here's the whole http part of the nf file. valet or for any other recommendations / solutions you could give.Īltering the nf on my VM (after suggested a tweak) did help a little bit. Any other suggestionsĪs of now I'm also open to try e.g. Of course I also tried to increase RAM, CPUs, Graphic stuff, etc. I also tried to turn off natdnshostresolver as suggested here NFS was working in both cases but it didn't change a thing regarding TTFB on page load. Tried (vagrant file): nfigure("2") do |config|Ĭonfig.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", type: "nfs", mount_options: Using NFS (sync folders) as suggested hereĪlso setting homestead/vagrant to NFS didn't help a thing. While changing the VM's disc size from dynamic to fixed as suggested here and explained here didn't help at all (result was even worse).
Disabling xdebugĭisabling xdebug like explained here helped me to save 5 seconds.
#Mac os in virtualbox runs slow how to#
While I found lots of threads/answers how to fix slow response times (e.g. I am using Homestead + Vagrant + Virtualbox on a Mac.
