![]() We know that developers will look at doing more multi-architecture builds than before. Last but by no means least, we also need to review the experience in the product for docker build. Apple’s announcement means we can start to get these set up and put in place to start automating the testing of Desktop on M1 chips. To do this we need to complete work including setting up CI for M1 chips to supplement the 25 Mac Minis that we use for automated testing of Docker Desktop. ![]() We also want to make sure we get the quality of our release right, which means putting the right tooling in place for our team to support repeatable, reliable testing. We know these projects are hard at work getting ready for M1 chips, and we are watching them closely. We rely on things like Go for the backend of Docker Desktop and Electron for the Docker Dashboard to view your Desktop content. We also need to do all the plumbing that provides the core experience of Docker Desktop, allowing you to docker run from your terminal as you can today.Īlong with this, we have technical dependencies upstream of us that need to make changes prior to making a new version of Docker Desktop GA. Under the hood of Docker Desktop, we run a virtual machine, to achieve this on Apple’s new hardware we need to move onto Apple’s new hypervisor framework. Although Apple has released Rosetta 2 to help move applications over to the new M1 chips, this does not get us all the way with Docker Desktop. Our goal at Docker is to provide the same great experience on the new Macs as we do today for our millions of users on Docker Desktop for Mac, and to make this transition as seamless as possible.īuilding the right experience for our customers means getting quite a few things right before we push a release. We saw the first spotlight of these efforts at Apple WWDC in June, when Apple highlighted Docker Desktop on stage. At Docker we have been looking at the new hypervisor features and support that are required for Mac to continue to delight our millions of customers. Revealed at Apple’s ‘ One More Thing’ event on Nov 10th, Docker was excited to see new Macs feature Apple silicon and their M1 chip.
