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.

but you cant run x86 containers... https://blog.alexellis.io/5-things-docker-rpi/

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.

Can we give them a full month to sort this out ?

I want x64 docker on Arm , as this could also be massive for server power consumption. But things take time . If your some wiz kid who can crack this puzzle you’ll have a billion dollar startup within 6 months

As someone who’s published on the App Store , having a single binary run on IPhone , IPad and Mac is a much much bigger deal than most of you realize .

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The question is: why even care? Use an Arm image. For docker, it makes little to no difference

What are you going to deploy that ARM image to?

Aws Graviton2 images. It’s exciting to finally have ARM consumer laptops: it’ll encourage people to port applications to ARM which will make it easier to take advantage of cheap ARM servers.

How many screw ups are we going to give Docker?

It has been since July that you can have developer kits for Apple Silicon. This should not have been a surprise.

Gosh, it never occurred to me that the reason the UI was so bloated and slow was because it is using electron!

Why couldn’t they just write a quick set of native panels and call it a day? Sigh.

Maybe building containers for one operating system and architecture from a completely different operating system and architecture is not the best idea.

I don't think this counts. The developer transition kit machines didn't support virtualization, aiui.

Developer transition kit has been around for a while. Docker just found out they needed to buy those?

Is this the beginning of application compatibility issues with M1?

Sounds a bit like Docker is at a loss. Caught between a closed source OS (rock) and an architecture change (hard place). Ideally, they could leverage Rosetta2 to run x64 containers under macOS on Apple Silicon ... but I guess Apple isn't playing ball (because otherwise they would have probably announced it at WWDC). At this point I see an Apple Silicon based Mac is just a consumer device, I don't think I'm going to b…

There's an ironic parallel in Docker referring to software as "content".

Wait until parents refer their childs as DLC.
