- 010a 10y agoI wouldn't go that far. Docker very specifically relies on Linux containerization technology, and this will likely never change. Docker for Windows or OSX only work because they have a small Linux VM running 24/7 on your machine, and all Docker commands are piped through to it.
- WinContainer911 10y agoWhat you are saying is a commonly misheld belief (although it used to be true). Microsoft and Docker have working techonlogy available right now to allow you to use "Native Windows" Docker containers. https://blog.docker.com/2016/09/build-your-first-docker-windows-server-container/ https://blog.docker.com/2016/09/build-your-first-docker-wind... It is only a matter of time before this is available in areas other than just servers.
- general_ai 10y agoThis has nothing to do with cross platform. Docker is similar to chroot in the sense that you're 100% running Linux. On OS X it runs in a Linux VM.
