![]() I’m not going to bore you with all the reasons why you have to install these four packages, but know they are needed. Next, I used Homebrew to install the following: $brew install docker Wanted to avoid any crossover with the software. ![]() The first thing I needed to do was remove Docker Desktop ( here) from my MacBook Pro. Now, I’m more of a person who wants the tried and true approach and Docker Desktop should have been able to run the Oracle Containers from Oracle Container Registry, but it was failing. With all the x86-64 containers out there, how do you get one to run on the M1 when Docker Desktop doesn’t fit the bill completely? From doing the research and the frustrations associated, I’ve come across an open-source product called “ colima”. And what is the tool that everyone runs for development – Docker. When you start to look at what everyone is doing and saying about the M1/M2 chip, what you hear is that they are fast and great for development. Making the attempt an interesting approach to running containers. Docker clearly states that it is to be used as a “best effort” approach to running x86 containers. When I tried this it gave mixed results on the containers that it would run. Just had to provide the -platform=linux/amd64 option. In attempting to make the switch back, I initially started with Docker Desktop for Apple Chip ( here) which is great for just about any docker container I wanted to run. I’m still not 100% sold on the M1 processor (ARM architecture) and think that software needs to catch up, especially if you want to do development work with enterprise databases locally (Oracle specifically). In the end, I ended up figuring out how to get back to the MacBook Pro. I can say I gave it an honest try on switching back, but couldn’t stick with it. A few months ago, I wrote a post about me switching back to Windows ( here).
