You will have a functioning Docker on ARM.
Because containers use the same kernel as the Docker host, you will need to pull
images that have been prepared for an ARM-based architecture. Go to the Docker
Hub and look for ARM-based images; the ones from 
Hyperiot
are a good start.

1.6 Installing Docker on OS X Using Docker Toolbox
Problem
The Docker daemon is not supported on OS X, but you want to use Docker on OS X.
Solution
Use Docker 
Toolbox
, an installer that contains the Docker Client, Docker Machine,
Docker Compose, Docker Kitematic, and VirtualBox. Docker Toolbox allows you to
start a tiny virtual machine in VirtualBox that runs the Docker daemon. The Docker
client installed on your OS X machine is configured to connect to this Docker dae‐
mon. Docker Machine (see 
Recipe 1.9
), Docker Compose (see 
Recipe 7.1
), and Kite‐
matic (see 
Recipe 7.5
) are also installed.
Download the installer from the 
download page
. Once the download is complete (see
Figure 1-1
), open the installer and go through the steps in the wizard. Once the
installation is complete, the finder will open and you will see a link to the 
Docker
quickstart terminal
. Click it to open a terminal and automatically start a virtual
machine in VirtualBox. The Docker client will be automatically configured to com‐
municate with this Docker daemon.
