Introduction This set of instructions eliminates the need to use the proprietary Docker Desktop for Mac on the Mac M1. First, we’ll start by launching a Debian Virtual Machine using UTM for Mac, which uses QEMU under the hood. After launching the VM, we’ll install openssh-server and enable it to start on boot. Then we’ll install Docker on the VM and verify the installation with the arm64v8/hello-world Docker image.
