#INSTALL DOCKER FOR MAC EDGE FOR MAC#
Docker for Mac or Windows is a single node system for building, testing and preparing to ship applications Docker EE provides the security, control, and scale needed to manage your production applications. The beauty of building with Docker for Mac or Windows is that you can deploy the exact same set of Docker container images on your desktop as you do with Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) on your production systems.
With experimental Kubernetes support in Docker CE for Mac, Docker can provide users an end-to-end suite of container-management software and services that span from developer workstations running Docker for Mac or Windows, through test and CI/CD, through to production systems on-premises or in the cloud running Docker Enterprise Edition (EE). And Docker for Mac auto-updates so you continue getting the latest Docker product revisions. Docker for Mac is simple to install, so you can have Docker containers running on your Mac in just a few minutes. All container tasks – build, run and push – will run on the same Docker instance with a shared set of images, volumes and containers. Developers building both docker-compose and Swarm-based apps, and apps destined for deployment on Kubernetes can now get a simple-to-use development system that takes optimal advantage of their laptop or workstation. ĭocker for Mac and Windows are the most popular way to configure a Docker dev environment and are used everyday by hundreds of thousands of developers to build, test and debug containerized apps. If you are already running a version of kubectl pointed at another environment, for example minikube, you will want to follow the activation instructions to change contexts to docker-for-desktop. The Docker for Mac version should be 17.12.0-ce-mac45 or later after updating. Kubernetes support is still considered experimental with this release, so to enable the download and use of Kubernetes components you must be on the Edge channel.

If you need to install a new copy of Docker for Mac you can download it from the Docker Store. Kubernetes features are only accessible on macOS for now Docker for Windows and Docker Enterprise Edition betas will follow at a later date.
With this release you can now run a single node Kubernetes cluster right on your Mac and use both kubectl commands and docker commands to control your containers. You heard about it at DockerCon Europe and now it is here: we are proud to announce that Docker for Mac with beta Kubernetes support is now publicly available as part of the Edge release channel.
