Docker Desktop for macOS Setup and Tips

Thank you for this tutorial, the amount of jobs that ask for hands-on docker/k8 lab experience made me find this and this was so easy to follow and set up!

Thank you so much for helping us humans navigate the vast landscape of the tech world and doing it in such a warm manner.
I can really see how great of a teacher you are! 🧙🏻‍♂

[@IndrajeetDevre]

What is the docker root directory on mac, how to get it ?

[@leo6152]

I have installed Docker, however docker compose version is not found . I see that I have the dockers compose version v2.20.2 -desktop.1 en windows but Mac

Bret, not sure if you will read this, but worth a shot. I have a newesr MBPro with the M3 Max Chip. I have docker desktop running and have set up several containers with programs running in them. They show to be running correctly, but I cannot figure out how to access them locally through the assigned ports. Do you have any resources for this you could point me in the direction of?

[@BretFisher]

Normally, you just publish the ports in your docker run command (-p port:port) and then access them via localhost:port on your mac host. If that doesn't work, I recommend letting the community help you in our Discord server: discord.gg/devops

@@BretFisher Thanks for the reply. I will post on there along with some pictures.

I’m having a hard time to get ipvlan to work on my M1 mac. Any tips?

[@afeesakanni]

does anyone have a solution for installing docker for Mac 10.15.7?

[@srinidhimarupeddi3160]

My mac OS is Monterey ver 12.4. Whenever I open docker it just displays docker engine stopped and I am not able to do anything after that, I tried resetting to factory settings, deleting and installing again but everytime it shows the same error, could anyone help me out because I need docker urgently for studies as I have to run Openfoam on it.
My mac is M1 Pro by the way.

[@BretFisher]

[@JoseWaldier]

@@BretFisher thank you!!

[@RobetPaulG]

Did this guy just install Docker Desktop without installing Virtual Box? So that's not going to work at all...

[@BretFisher]

Docker Desktop doesn't use virtualbox
