You have the option to copy containers and images from your local default machine (if one exists) to the Docker Desktop HyperKit VM.

To learn more, see Docker Desktop for Mac vs.

You can check to see if your machine has this support by running the following command in a terminal: sysctl kern.hvsupport.

That is, the current release of macOS and the previous two releases.

Docker Desktop currently supports macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, and macOS High Sierra.

The tutorial includes a simple exercise to build an example Docker image, run it as a container, push and save the image to Docker Hub.

However, you can only have one version of Docker Desktop installed at a time.

Switching between Stable and Edge versions can destabilize your development environment, particularly in cases where you switch from a newer (Edge) channel to an older (Stable) channel.

However, when you switch from a Stable to an Edge release, you must turn on the experimental features flag to access experimental features.

From the Docker Desktop menu, click Preferences Command Line and then turn on the Enable experimental features toggle.

For more information, see the section Save and Restore data below.

For example, if you want to switch between Edge and Stable, or to reset your VM disk.
