Ask HN: Alternative to Virtualbox on M1 Macs?
Based on https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=98742, it seems that Virtualbox will not work on an ARM host computer, no plans to port it. Since I heavily rely on the pack Vagrant + Virtualbox to do development on my current MBP, what alternatives do you propose?
My current setup is: I use Vagrant to spawn a couple of VMs and inside them I run Docker containers.

- sdevonoes 5y agoI want to simulate my production environment as much as I can. My production env looks like: - Ubuntu machine + nginx installed on it (no container) + 1 Docker container with my app - Ubuntu machine + mysql installed on it (no container) So, sure I could run on top of my development laptop 3 Docker containers: nginx, my app, and mysql... but this is not exactly what I have on production. Whereas with Vagrant and can easily bootstrap 2 VMs (2 Ubuntus) and within them run the containers above mentioned, plus nginx and mysql installed "raw".
