Apple Silicon M1 Chips and Docker

If Docker can run on Raspberry Pi's ARM chips, it can run on Mac ARM chips. I expect we'll see this working very soon after the new Macs start to arrive.

Docker uses Linux-specific containerization technology, so getting it to run on MacOS and Windows is a completely different beast of a problem.

Docker runs in a Linux VM if you use Windows or Mac,and nothing will change that here.

The "different beast" is just some go wrappers.

By default, but one

    sudo apt install qemu-user-static
    # or
    docker run --rm --privileged aptman/qus -s -- -p    # (every reboot)

away and you can. It'll be slow, but it'll work.

Docker is architecture specific though. The meaningful question is whether it can run the same docker images as it did on the previous Mac hardware or not.
