I am using Docker for Mac and wish to create Docker image running a Mac El Capitan with my development env.
I am not finding any resources on this. All I see is Linux installations.
On Linux I saw things as simple as:
FROM sciensa2/docker-java8 RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install -y wget unzip libgtk2.0-0:amd64 libxtst6 But what would be the FROM value for OS X to install and run other software?

All containers running on a system share the same kernel; Mac OS X does not use the Linux kernel, but rather a mach kernel, so it cannot be run inside a Docker container at this time. You can run Docker on your Mac using a virtual machine, but containers running on that instance would need to run Linux.
Docker can now be installed as a native Windows or native Mac app, launched and utilized from a system toolbar just like any other packaged application.
You can run both Linux and Windows programs and executables in Docker containers. The Docker platform runs natively on Linux (on x86-64, ARM and many other CPU architectures) and on Windows (x86-64). Docker Inc. builds products that let you build and run containers on Linux, Windows and macOS.
Docker for Mac is a native MacOS X application that embeds a hypervisor (based on xhyve), a Linux distribution and filesystem and network sharing that is much more Mac native. You just drag-and-drop the Mac application to /Applications, run it, and the Docker CLI just works.
If you are trying to run Mac OS as the base system in a Docker container, unfortunately there is no way to do it.
Docker container need to use the host machine's Linux Kernel, since Mac OS family is Unix-based operating system, currently Docker cannot simulate a Mac OS in Docker container. Here is a link to explain how container works.
