In other words, nothing serious.

Does anyone actually use Docker on Mac?

Xhyve is more of a proof-of-concept than a production-ready tool.

What? We use it at work every day for local development, and my previous employer did as well. It has issues, definitely, but they have more to do with Docker than with xhyve.

But doesn’t Docker on Mac run a Linux VM? I don’t think it uses any of MacOS’s isolation features.

I use it extensively. It is a desktop product however; it you aren't expected to put a swarm of MacBook pros into production.

Unless you want to run CD to the App Store? So fun....

Ah, but if the XServe had not died and datacenters had racks of these things, there'd no doubt be a production quality implementation by now. Shame.

Xhyve is but one of the options for fronting hypervisor.framework.

Calling it “not serious” is quite wrong.

I use Docker on Mac, and know many others who do as well.

I personally know of at least 3 or 4 engineering teams of 30+ developers who use it daily.

Sure, for development tasks.
