What does the new Containerization Framework add to the OS that was impossible before? Or, what specific features enable the high performance Linux that’s impossible in Docket?
- hadlock 1y agoIt's a first party supported container solution, and it doesn't have weird, desperate licensing terms attached to it. This is effectively the last nail in the coffin for "docker" on Mac, unless you got suckered into a legacy support contract.
- _kidlike 1y agoif I understand correctly, the difference is that before docker on Mac was running inside a Linux VM, where now it's running on apple silicon.
- _kidlike 1y agoSorry, edit button not working... But I didn't understand if they support the same container spec from docker or not: i. e. will a container created with docker run on apple silicon now?
- weikju 1y ago> where now it's running on apple silicon. It's still running in a tiny Linux VM. One VM per container if what I've read is right... It's running on Apple Silicon because it's only available on Apple Silicon. Docker/orbstack/lima/etc are also running on Apple Silicon when your Mac is an Apple Silicon Mac, so I didn't quite get the meaning of that last one... If you were trying to say it's running natively without a Linux VM though, it's wrong insofar as it's not running on a single shared VM as the other solutions do but it's still using Linux VMs.
