Doesn’t this imply that we could have Docker for iOS? I don’t think Apple would allow it, but it seems like an interesting antitrust wedge if they blocked it.

- thethimble 6y agoI don’t think MacOS and iOS are similar enough for this to be an obvious jump. I think the iOS kernel is also prohibitively locked down to do anything like custom virtualization.

- thethimble 6y agoAmazing! I'm very surprised and stand corrected!
- ajconway 6y agoIt should be noted that this doesn't use any hardware-assisted virtualization acceleration.
- saagarjha 6y agoIt's not even using a JIT.
- tinus_hn 6y agoWhat would you want to use that for?
- lostlogin 6y agoFor me - the various things I use Docker for now. Firing up containers for ESPHome and related projects. Testing things out is great and doing it more readily sounds neat. It can be done is a fairly simple fashion via a gui (eg the Synology implementation). I’ve just finished messing about with that Grafana speed test project that was featured here last week, and doing it on an iOS could be good.
- croon 6y agoI'm assuming running more software outside of appstore control.
- octos4murai 6y agoI’m just dreaming out loud here but I would love for the iPad to allow for a developer workflow similar to Fedora Silverblue. Perhaps not the layered OS images but the containerized sandboxes (toolbox) and the App Store instead of Flathub.
- m463 6y agoI always thought it would be cool to have a native apple docker. By native I mean: FROM macos:10.13.2 RUN xcode-build <...> but apple doesn't really understand containers. (I mean the "you're not the target market" understand)
