I like the fastest cheap, arm docker compatible server. And as far as I know, docker doesn't work on XNU

That's tough. Mac Pro for you, if it must be Mac hardware. But why on earth Mac docker server? Obviously not for professional purposes. For play, use any x86 box you like, just because you want speed doesn't mean speed is necessary. If it must be Apple Silicon, then you can run as many virtual instances of macOS as you like on my GNU/XNU ARMac "Linux" (not actually Linux) release, and as many Docker Desktop for Apple Silicon as virtual instances of macOS. But if Docker had any decency, they'd release the source code to you, so you could build it native for Apple Silicon XNU. Have you considered working for Docker? Would make it a lot easier to get the source code, or just move through the ranks and make it a Docker initiative. Or suppose we agree while you can't actually run docker server on Apple Silicon, because the code doesn't exist, which is no one's fault, not even Apple's, but that you can still have the right to run docker server on Apple Silicon. We shall fight your oppressors for your right to run docker server on Apple Silicon because it is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.[1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFBOQzSk14c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFBOQzSk14c

> I like the fastest cheap, arm docker compatible server. Specs unclear, Pi Zero can do this for 35 dollars. It's the fastest you can get for cheap. But not the cheapest one of the fastest ones, that would be Graviton, but you can't get those because only Amazon manufactures them for themselves. So that leaves Ampere Altra but that's not cheap unless you need to scale. I guess you need a Kunpeng 920 then.

  Here are excellent points and practical and positive solutions. To get it done, do what works rather than pine for what doesn't.
