#DOCKER INSTALL MAC OS HOW TO#
I was trying to figure out how to get a development environment for a Django project running inside Docker in a M1 Mac. TLDR: Use platform: linux/amd64 in docker-compose.yml and your containers will probably work! Simon Willison’s TILs Running Docker on an M1 Mac The top post looks to have provided instructions on how to accomplish that and directly answers your question.Running Docker on an M1 Mac | Simon Willison’s TILs If you can use the Docker daemon on another host but use your local Docker CLI (with your other local tools) that might be a decent compromise. None of the Docker Desktop alternatives seem at all appealing to me. What you're asking for makes some sense to me. That's essentially why all the Docker Desktop alternatives refer to using minikube (runs on a VM, on Mac), containerd + LIMA (Linux Virtual Machine), any time a docker daemon is running on a Mac it's doing so with a Linux VM on some level. It's possible to install the Docker CLI on Mac but the Docker daemon binary is Linux-only. When it comes to Docker, the docker-cli is the client and Docker Desktop (which runs the Docker daemon - dockerd) is the server. Without the server, the client has nothing to talk to. If you're at all familiar with setting up a MySQL server, you install the mysql-server and the mysql-client. This topic is very popular at the moment due to Docker announcing that Docker Desktop will start charging for business use. Most things are "possible", whether or not it's worth it or makes sense is another question entirely. Hope this sets you on the right path to set this all up. One final thing worth mentioning is that if you have an ssh config file setup with information on how to connect to your Linux server, you can also use that as the host for your context as well! docker context create -docker "host=ssh://remote-linux-server" remote-linux-server
This is obviously helpful if you have many contexts or clusters that you maintain because it allows you to easily swap between different contexts from one machine! Then your CLI commands will be sent to your Linux server's Daemon. Once you have a context created, you can switch to that context using docker context use remote-linux-server. To create a context named "remote-linux-server", you can do something like: docker context create -docker "host=tcp://:" remote-linux-server This allows you to create different contexts for your CLI. You can read more about docker contexts here and information on how to create contexts here. It can obviously be annoying to specify that variable every time, so the second way you can do this is by creating a Docker Context. If for example you wanted to run an nginx container on your remote daemon, you could run the following DOCKER_HOST=“tcp://:” docker run -d -p 8080:80 nginx Once you have the CLI on your Mac (either by building the Docker CLI from source or just using Docker Desktop for Mac), you can connect to your Linux server from your Mac with the Docker CLI in two ways.įirst, you can do it by specifying the host of your remote Docker Daemon when you run a command. I just built the CLI late last week and I had to play with it a bit in before I got it to build locally, but you can do it. They recently (just this past week) changed how the CLI is built as it's now using Buildkit, so I will admit, you will probably have to tinker with it a bit if you want to install it from source since they're in the middle of updating the documentation on building it. If you still just want to install the CLI, then checkout the Repo here and read the instructions to build the CLI from source.
But if you really don't want the container runtime and the daemon running on your Mac, then you'll have to install the CLI manually. Alternatively, you could just install Docker Desktop, and then just configure your CLI to connect to your Linux server.
#DOCKER INSTALL MAC OS MANUAL#
Since most people setup Docker Desktop with a Mac and not just the CLI, it will take some manual configuration if you really just want the CLI.
