You’re running a VM either way on a Mac. Docker without a VM is only available on Linux

Yep! But at least it can leverage hyperkit and vastly reduce overhead when running images of matching architecture.

hyperkit does not run on ARM Macs

  $ brew install hyperkit
  hyperkit: The x86_64 architecture is required for this software.
  Error: hyperkit: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

Oh I didn't realize, thanks for pointing that out. I guess they'll have to rely on the new virtualization framework going forward.

MacOS can run MacOS containers natively, but I understand that's not much help for most people.

That’s interesting. It’s in 0.0.1 version though but it seems like a possible drop in replacement

Without network, IPC, PID and cgroup namespaces replacements it's not even close. How Windows Server does it? By using parts of Hyper-V.

Yeah, but that also requires disabling SIP, so you still might want to run it in a VM.

Aw. I wish there was a way to isolate corpoware crap like Citrix into its own little jail. Kinda like {tool,distro}box on Linux.

And on Windows while running Windows containers.

Before anyone else gets confused...Windows containers are only for Windows applications. If you have a Linux environment in your Docker image, then it's running on a VM. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscont...

Of course, what is there to be confused about?

It say it clearly on the name, Windows containers.
