Apple Silicon support

Multiarch images (experimental)

Docker dev should work mostly out of the box on Macs with Apple Silicon (ARM).

Here are some images with arm64 support which are preferred over the standard images as they'll be more performant.

To make use of those create a file arm.yml in the custom folder of your docker dev directory with the following contents:

services:
  selenium-hub:
    image: seleniarm/hub:4.5.3-20221025

  selenium-chrome:
    image: seleniarm/node-chromium:106.0

  selenium-chrome-debug:
    image: seleniarm/standalone-chromium:106.0

  mysql:
    image: biarms/mysql:5.7.30

Then just tup your containers as usual.

Known issues

  • The official MySQL 5.7 image doesn't support ARM. You can however use the unofficial image listed in the yml file above but please be aware that it's an older version of 5.7.
  • Microsoft SQL Server doesn't natively support ARM. This can be worked around by enabling Rosetta support under Preferences > Virtual Machine > Emulation within Rancher Desktop preferences.
