Docker and Docker Compose on AMD OSX Hackintosh via Docker Machine

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

@AlphaNecron can you run windows vm without error on Sonama/Ventura with virtual box 6.x?

I am also interested in answer to this . I was not aware there was a way to successfully run virtual box vms on an amd hackintosh due to osx not supporting AMD/SVM. Of course intel works fine as it used vt-d and osx is programmed to work on intel.

I think i might have seen / got working a non svm method of running a virtual machine but performance was poor. Is it this what we are taking about ? Sorry if I don’t use precisely the right technical terms as a these matters are at the limit of my understanding.

I guess Proxmox as host and Macos as guest with a gpu passthrough, currently is the better way to setup ryzentosh. For the docker in this case use separate vm with any linux distro and just mount folder over nfs.

@sergeycherepanov Do I understand you correctly?

  • I can use Ubuntu as a host OS.
  • Use Proxmox to run MacOS.
  • Use Docker in Ubuntu.
  • Share Docker between Ubuntu host OS and MacOS in VM?

@kroegen yes, but only Debian supported by Proxmox VE, or you need to install Proxmox VE directly from the iso. Also, I can recommend check the guides by Nick on him blog https://www.nicksherlock.com/category/proxmox/

I didn't use docker machine for a while as it is a bit aged, minkube works fine.

@brorbw, can you pls advice on this error:
unable to get image 'postgres:14.5-alpine': Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

commands with docker works (like docker run hello-world) but any call to docker-compose bumps to this error (have installed docker-compose).
