Will be trying my most used software installs using brew, it seems a great way to be downloading/installing software in bulk – should be great for new laptop setup (if/when I get it) – I have been upgrading macOS in-place for the past 5 years or so, and think it will be awesome to someday migrate to a brand new clean macOS setup. Upon starting this /Applications/Docker.app for the first time, I got the security prompt:īut that’s it – after that Docker worked exactly the same and had the very same versions of all the components:

That was it! Overall – great improvement of the steps I would normally take to install Docker. => Moving App 'Docker.app' to '/Applications/Docker.app'. => Verifying SHA-256 checksum for Cask 'docker'. The easiest is, of course, just to use the native installer provided by Docker maintaners: you download the Docker.dmg file, install it and end up with an app called Docker Desktop: Install Docker with brewīut since I wanted to try more automated install, I used brew: :~ $ brew cask install dockerĪlready downloaded: /Users/greys/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/01aa470f5479ce702d59bc8d825681bca704ab964279558efd5a2187b126791c-Docker.dmg That’s certainly what we’ve found with Rails, anyway.

Among them is Docker, so I decided to try how it installs and works. Last week, Docker-For-Mac shipped with brand new native NFS support For those of us using Docker to manage our local development environment, this is really good news because OSX’s filesystem isn’t fast enough to make most web apps useable locally combined with Docker.

Turns out, plenty of native macOS apps can be installed using the brew package manager.
