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). ![]()
