Yahya Zahedi documents a problem anyone running a VCF homelab
with slow internet will recognize immediately: downloading
hundreds of gigabytes when your connection simply can’t keep up.
His solution — a portable offline depot running in Docker on a
Mac — is well-documented and honest about the ARM/x86 challenge.
The two-container setup (one for downloading, one for serving)
is clean and reusable. Worth bookmarking.
