how to run docker on apple silicon (m1)

Question

I'v installed docker by homebrew on Mac with m1 cpu. But it doesn't run. It tells me that I need to use intel cpu. But on Docker site I see that docker should run. How to fix that?

Incompatible CPU detected

We are sorry, but your hardware is incompatible with Docker Desktop.

This version of Docker Desktop requires an Intel processor.

Answer 1

Docker Desktop RC3 is available at https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/apple-m1/

See the download link at the top. This is a link to DMG file. Install it and you're good to go.

I am using it since 2 months.

Updating it late, but now Docker Desktop for M1 is available (earlier it was preview version). Docker Desktop for M1 is now fully supported and can be downloaded at - https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop

Answer 2

you can simply download the docker desktop for the Mac with apple silicon and replace the old one while installing it
