I use a MakeMKV docker container myself

Looks good, but I can't run it on Mac, sadly

I daily drive a Mac but I keep all of my video stuff on a separate server running Linux. And I might be wrong and I’m not in a position to look it up right now, but I’d be surprised if you couldn’t run a docker container of it on a Mac. Is that not one of the big advantages of containerization?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I've honestly never attempted anything like it before

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

There may be some exceptions but I thought that the container at least had to have a similar if not the same OS as the base OS.

That is why containers are so efficient, because they utilize all the like files of the base OS but act like their own machine, thus saving a lot of space.

macOS is literally certified UNIX, afaik. I’d be surprised if you couldn’t.

True didn't think about it

I don’t think that’s the case, I know I can run Linux containers in windows, but docker service may be running on a Linux VM, I know it requires some of the same virtualization bios settings that VMware wants.
