Re: @vosechu’s comment, we managed to get this working! Both on M1 macs, we still used multipass for a linux vm.
We pulled the dideler/fish-shell:3.6.1 (the most recent version for arm64/v8) image, and spun up a container. With the container running, in another tab, we used
docker export
to create a new tarball like @ndom91 and @jvns mentioned. Then used @ndom91’s updates for cgroups v2, which worked like a charm.
