macOS woes with Docker in generalmacOS is known to have problems with Docker support in general. IIRC:
These are not things we have any influence over with DMS so we cannot assist you with that. macOS workaround (use Docker via a VM guest yourself)Generally anyone using DMS on macOS is doing so for local dev use, rather than production deployment. If you need this you are advised to instead:
With software like VMware, you can:
It's extra effort, and while that is inconvenient it does workaround the issues with Dockers support on macOS. DMS has limited support for macOS
Just in case you didn't see it while filing a bug report:
Again, DMS has very little influence over the breakage you're experiencing. There's probably other differences in your environment such as versions of Docker and what storage driver they're using, or something in the newer OS fixes/breaks that support. Volume workaroundsHowever, given the context that this is a throwaway container for local testing / experimenting:

This was meant to be a production server. MacOS. |
That is honestly an odd choice to deploy production on. Most commonly you'd encounter Linux and sometimes Windows, at least I rarely hear of macOS being used for production beyond perhaps a homelab.
Yes. Any hypervisor + linux distro should be fine for the most part. If you're new to linux, Ubuntu is often a good choice; for production you may want to upgrade to 24.04 LTS when released next year. I'd encourage installing Docker v24+, which is easily done by following Dockers documentation. If you want the Ubuntu VM to run a full desktop environment instead of as a headless server, should VirtualBox not work well for you VMware can provide a smooth hardware accelerated experience. |

These are the options I was referring to as volume drivers. Thanks for sharing your solution! 鉂わ笍 |
