It's not a VM, which is the point of docker in the first place.
I agree, though, that it's next to unusable on a low-power dual-core system like the MBA if only for limited RAM.
- mcpeepants 7y agodocker on mac does indeed leverage a VM as the docker host, since a Linux kernel is required
- qayxc 7y agoTo my understanding Docker doesn't do hardware virtualisation and doesn't run indiviual VMs per container instance, though, or does it?
- mcpeepants 7y agoit does not, but there is still some overhead running a single linux VM for the docker host on macOS
