You'll get the same issues, since utm uses qemu. Tried it a few days ago with x64 linux only to have the os crash while copying stuff over smb
FWIW I switched from Docker Desktop to UTM+Ubuntu+Docker a few months ago and it has been great.
I've been exploring 2 alternatives (podman and colima) to replace my normal docker workflow, which is just building and running containers locally, sometimes with docker-compose. I started with podman but had issues with 2 main pieces of my workflow: docker-compose (or podman-compose) and shared volumes (with `run -v`). Switched over to colima and those worked out of the box for me ("brew install docker; brew install…
Podman works with docker-compose 1.x only and needs some finagling to work. I have this wrapper script as podman-compose #!/bin/bash set -e tmpdir=$(mktemp -d) port=$(podman system connection ls | grep -Eo 'localhost:\d+' | head -1 | cut -d: -f2) [[ -n $port ]] || exit 1 ssh -fnNT -L"$tmpdir/podman.sock":/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock -i ~/.ssh/podman-machine-default ssh://core@localhost:"$port" -o StreamLocalBind…
A few months ago I switched to a new setup on my M1 Max: running a Ubuntu VM in UTM (https://mac.getutm.app/), and installing Docker there.
I use Mutagen (https://mutagen.io/) for syncing files between macOS and the VM, which works really well.
There is a 10x-20x speed improvement running a large PHP (Drupal) project through the VM than Docker for Mac.

Is this a short term issue or is nobody working on docker-compose 3.x compatibility?

This is exactly why I ditched Podman. I really wanted to use it badly, but lacking an alternative to Docker Compose or compatibility with it in 2022 is unacceptable. Yes, there is technically a way you can orchestrate containers through configuration, and I don't remember what it was called, but I found it both difficult to use and learn. It's crazy to me that people wanted to develop an alternative to Docker... with…

In case you missed it the license terms for Docker Desktop have changed and require companies with ~250 employees to start paying for it: https://www.docker.com/blog/updating-product-subscriptions/
And in those larger companies, just paying for the "coffee a month" may not be an option, since they insist all licenses are company owned and it's less effort to change my docker VM wrapper than get shit past my company's purchasing department in a reasonable amount of time.
There’s no way we would have gotten the product through IT Security Management on time, much less through purchasing. Docker appears to have fallen down a bit on their market research - they forgot that their real customer for the Business subscriptions weren’t the developers at large companies, but their software purchasing processes.

ARM Ubuntu or X86?
As others have pointed out, Virtualbox doesn't work on ARM (M1). A few months ago I switched to a new setup on my M1 Max: running a Ubuntu VM in UTM ( https://mac.getutm.app/ ), and installing Docker there.

> why the heck doesn't the macOS kernel support native containerization? Because Apple has no plans of growing their server OS marketshare. I know there are benefits of using namespaces (containers) in the desktop market, but they don't sell iMacs/MBPs. Exterior design and heavy marketing is their sales strategy.
I never understood this, because surely some huge percentage of developers use Macs. Enterprises buy stacks of them nonstop. Just making that group happy would get you the reputation of being a developers machine, for serious computer people, which could translate into laymen purchases too.
