I felt sorry for it and stopped it, 14min and the poor thing was just going around in circles.
I’m just looking at running some local llm on my m2 16GB mac and this was with the default settings for the qwen3.5 9b in LM Studio. Any pointers to get the best out of a M2?

Just a Docker manager, I’ve moved from Portainer and slowly moving all my containers across.
Why? I don’t care for portainer’s commercial moves but it seems to work fine most of the time. How is arcane better?
Asking seriously. Not sarcastically.
Mostly because of their more and more restrictions on the free version.
Arcane seems to be the manager that is getting all the love at the moment, ie it was recommended a couple of times in the selfhosted community
Nice! Is it similar in features? A web app, an API, agents for managing multiple nodes, docker compose-in-the-browser support?
Yes to all of them, seems very feature rich
Take a look at dokploy if you want those features. https://dokploy.com/
It never gets mentioned but I’ve been running it for years (multinode cluster first, now single node) and am very happy.
You’re paying $4.5/mo for Dokploy for your self hosted setup??
No. It’s been free for me … Did they start charging for it?
EDIT: if I understand it correctly the pricing is if they host it on a server for you. Maybe I’m wrong, but its running for free on my server right now and I updated it last week and it doesn’t ask for money.
Makes sense. SH through GitHub is free and self-managed. While anything else is paid based on their website’s pricing.
