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

@brorbw how to reach application running in minikube at 'localhost' on docker-compose? thank bro.

hey guys, with OpenCore-Legacy-Patche, VirtualBox 6.1.x can take another breath on sonoma(14.5 tested), just work as usual. I just upgraded from Monterey without any issue.

wow！So docker can work？

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).
