In other words, nothing serious. Does anyone actually use Docker on Mac? Xhyve is more of a proof-of-concept than a production-ready tool.

  I use Docker on Mac, and know many others who do as well.

    But doesn’t Docker on Mac run a Linux VM? I don’t think it uses any of MacOS’s isolation features.

      It uses Hyperkit: https://github.com/moby/hyperkit https://github.com/moby/hyperkit

    Unless you want to run CD to the App Store? So fun....

    Ah, but if the XServe had not died and datacenters had racks of these things, there'd no doubt be a production quality implementation by now. Shame.

  I personally know of at least 3 or 4 engineering teams of 30+ developers who use it daily.

  Xhyve is but one of the options for fronting hypervisor.framework. Calling it “not serious” is quite wrong.
