Just occurred to me: if Docker is a container software and not a vitalization software, how does it run Linux executables on an OSX host?

- styfle 9y ago“Docker Engine” doesn’t but “Docker for Windows” provides several tools including a wrapper around Hyper-V. I’m sure “Docker for Mac” does something similar. A year or two ago, it used to spin up Virtual Box.
- TheDauthi 9y agoIt runs on top of a user-space virtual machine (xhyve, IIRC) that runs on Hypervisor.framework that IS running linux.
