Docker and Docker Compose on AMD OSX Hackintosh via Docker Machine

docker-compose-hackintosh.md

Introduction

Docker.app will complain about incompatible processor, so we will use Docker Machine.

Instalation

Download Docker for Mac (Docker.app). It contains some binaries that are necessary.

brew install virtualbox docker-machine

# Normally, those links are created automatically by running Docker.app,
# but it quits on us too early, so we need to do this manually
ln -s "/Applications/Docker.app/Contents//Resources/bin/docker-compose" /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
ln -s "/Applications/Docker.app/Contents//Resources/bin/docker-credential-desktop" /usr/local/bin/docker-credential-desktop
ln -s "/Applications/Docker.app/Contents//Resources/bin/docker-credential-osxkeychain" /usr/local/bin/docker-credential-osxkeychain

You can also use brew to install docker and doccker-compose and it should work without linking above.

Running

docker-machine create
eval $(docker-machine env)
docker run hello-world
docker-compose up

@evenlee sorry, I misunderstood your question. I tried with windows VM but got same error as your.

Edit: I can use Genymotion (which is a VM for Android) normally.

Thanks, it seems i have to stay on Monterey for now, maybe I will upgrade my build to 13900 when I got time to rebuild :).

Let me add that you can now use

brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
brew install --cask virtualbox6

To install the correct version of Virtualbox

Thanks for the guide. It works here (ryzentosh Ventura). However, there's an issue with VirtualBox 6.1.40 - it uses double the amount of RAM (e.g., if you allocate 4.0 GB, you can check Activity Monitor where you'll see ~8.0 GB used). The issue is documented here - https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19726

Not a deal breaker, but might be problematic for some. An older version - 6.1.2 r135662 - does not have the double memory issue, I am not sure, if it will work in this case. If someone tries it, please share feedback.
