WTF are you talking about? It's called 'education' and teaching kids to code.. there's no downside to that.
got , kiddo this day to attach with "gadget" .Normal work software is bored, no creativity. The main point of learn software to solve problem not to understand problem. A lot of even degree student fail to grasp what is programming is about.

Docker? Is it still a thing? I thought podman is now the way to go? Anyway: what hypervisor do they use on mac m1? Hyperkit?

It feels like you know very little about Podman given this comment.

Docker is 100% Mac supported - Podman not so much. It's still somewhat in its infancy and the only platform it's fully supported on is Linux, other platforms are only partially supported.

Docker is 100% mac supported? So it relies on darwin features? Didn't know that.

Yes it is. You can create images, run them and even use minikube all on a Mac with no other OS requirement.

More than be said for Podman which is only partially supported on a Mac.

Of course it doesn't rely on Darwin. That's a rather odd thing to say.

That's not what supported means.

Python is fully supported on a Mac but doesn't require a Mac either. Doesn't stop it being fully supported.

Say it. It relies on Linux and virtualisation. So why not run this stuff on a dedicated server, where containers belong to. Or even better, use vmware/virtualbox with a proper linux guest that runs docker

And who cares about the ownership structure of large corporations? The people creating it are the same.
Opinionated because of experience. Have fun and luck running docker processes as "root" in production environments

Who said anything about production environments?

I run Docker to run RabbitMq, Redis and Sql Server on.my MacBook for development purposes.

Development. There's a huge number of developers who use a Mac to develop software on.
 
of course...

My "sql server" was installed by brew. Don't know what you need...

I asked for the name of the formula. There's one for tools - nothing for Server which is only supported on Windows, Linux or a container.

Also, no you cannot run multiple Redis or RabbitMq servers via Brew. Every thing installed via Brew installs locally.

Why are you so desperate to believe your way is the only way?

BTW, it's not "Sql Server" it's Sql Server - as in Microsoft Sql Server, not MySql, not PostgreSql, not Oracle, not anything other than Sql Server.

Rather shocked you apparently don't know this given the tone and tenor or your posts...

That is the problem. People think they can run some dockers and think they understand the underlaying service.

Just run redis-server multiple times with different ports.

MSSQL is the proper way to say it.

No, it’s not. I should know as I’ve been using the thing since Sql Server 6.5.

Again you seem determined to post how you’re right and we’re all wrong. Why is that?

I rip my containers and rebuild them daily based upon what's going on. To use multiple instances on Mac you have have multiple configuration files and multiple ports. I often move my containers around and don't have to worry about leaving anything behind as its all self contained.

You can't have different versions of Redis etc. on the same Mac - also something I do regularly.

Interesting points.

Can you tell me, how it was done in pre-docker-times? I can only learn... :p

How did we do anything? That's rather a silly question.

Especially since you've pivoted from "Docker is crap" to "why use virtualization". Whatever happened to how great Podman is for containers?

So, to reiterate: you cannot run Sql Server via Brew and you cannot run different versions of Redis on a Mac either without containerizaion. And Docker fully runs on Mac whereby Podman does not, yet both are container management services.
