This is indeed correct. Your Docker VM lives at:
/Users/$USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/vms/0/Docker.raw
It would be very nice to be able to use libvirt from my Mac in the same way as my Linux workstation. Or be able to migrate VMs between the two. They're both using the same-ish CPUs, after all! (Workstation has a "i7-5820K" vs the Macbook Pro's "i7-8850H")
- pmjordan 7y agoIt would be very nice to be able to use libvirt from my Mac in the same way as my Linux workstation. I believe libvirt as such is supposed to work on macOS. Furthermore, recent versions of Qemu apparently support using macOS's Hypervisor.framework. So it seems like this should be doable, although I've not had a chance to try it myself yet.
- bloopernova 7y agoCool, thank you for the info. It's been a while since I tried it.
