Problem

The mount_hide_shared option only hides the OrbStack volume from the Desktop and Finder sidebar. The ~/OrbStack folder is still visible when browsing the home directory in Finder.

This is problematic because:

• NFS mounts cannot be hidden with chflags hidden (returns "Operation not supported")
• xattr also fails on NFS mounts
• There is no workaround to hide it from Finder

Proposed solution

Either:

1. Extend mount_hide_shared to also hide ~/OrbStack from Finder's home directory view (make it fully invisible in Finder)
2. Add a config option to change the mount path (e.g., mount_path: ~/.orbstack), allowing users to mount it as a dotfile that's already hidden by default

Environment

• macOS: macOS Sequoia 15.5 (24F74) on Apple Silicon (arm64)
• OrbStack: 2.2.1 (2020100)
