Thinking about running Docker on M2?

20 Comments

1. 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

2. runnign docker on mac mini m2 pro 16gb and mysql and microsoft sql server both run relaly well 🙂 both are ported to arm64.

3. I am really surprised. Does Apple finally really offer a black laptop? I don‘t need a laptop for my workload, but a black Macbook looks great.🎉 There is running something on your notebooks, in your videos, but what is that? What is Docker? I was searching for Machine Learning. 😂

4. Try docker inside a VM

5. is docker on apple slower than on x86 pc?

6. Is it only me confused that Alex says Mac is using zero memory by looking at the SWAP line??

7. M2 chip 8 GB Ram is Good for Flutter App Development and Automation Testing ?

8. 21.817s for m2 pro chip. wtf

9. did any of the mba thermal throttled?

10. QEMU vm is pretty slow on Apple Silicon, there was a experimental VM which is much faster. It's now in stable.

11. Whatever I write on youtube about the MacBook and software tools, you come out.Thanks bro ❤️

12. wow, I'm really glad I chose the M2 MBA over the M1 Pro MBP. Of course the M1 Pro is better in multicore performance and graphic tasks, but as we see here the basic single core performance is better. And since I'm working on frontend and no heavy tasks in graphics or video editing, I'm really better off with my 24GB MBA

13. Thanks for putting out these tests. It looks like Docker updated their example Dockerfile in that repo about a month ago (probably because of your comparison videos 😄) to pull in images based on the machine platform so it should in theory automatically pull in the more optimized arm64v8 images for the M1/M2 chips. It'd be interesting to see an updated version of these tests comparing the M2 with an Intel machine

14. Did he confuse the docker song with baby shark?

15. Hi Alex. Thank's a lot for this video. It's really helpful as I'm struggling to choose the right specification for me.
    But still have one question.

    Why are MBPro w/ 16gb and MBA upgraded w/24 using the different amount of RAM for the same docker task?

16. This the only comparison videos that I can relate with my work 😂.
    Thanks for making this. You gain one more follower.
    I was torn between buying M2 or M1 pro 14 inch and was really confused on why M2 outperform M1 pro chip for these kind of tasks.

17. Hi Alex is the base model enough for a apple developer or react dev ? Maybe 2 emulator running simultaneously

19. Can i build x86 Images on the ARM machine? My Servers using x86… Yeah, my Pipeline can build for x86… but i'm interested anyhow.

20. Hey guys! Maybe you can help me. Will it work well on air m2 if i use on working Docker with three upped containers, PHPStorm, Chrome with ten opened tabs, SQL client like Workbench or DBeaver? Thanks
