Docker Desktop for Mac Edge release notes

Estimated reading time: 55 minutes

Here are the main improvements and issues per edge release, starting with the current release. The documentation is updated for each release.

For system requirements, see What to know before you install.

Release notes for edge releases are listed below, stable release notes are also available. (Following the CE release model, ‘beta’ releases are called ‘edge’ releases.) You can learn about both kinds of releases, and download stable and edge product installers at Download Docker for Mac.

    • Experimental Kubernetes Support. You can now run a single-node Kubernetes cluster from the “Kubernetes” Pane in Docker For Mac Preferences and use kubectl commands as well as docker commands. See https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/kubernetes/
    • DNS name docker.for.mac.host.internal should be used instead of docker.for.mac.localhost (still valid) for host resolution from containers, since since there is an RFC banning the use of subdomains of localhost (See https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-let-localhost-be-localhost-06).
  • Bug fixes and minor changes
    • The docker engine is configured to use VPNKit as an HTTP proxy, fixing ‘docker pull’ in environments with no DNS. Fixes docker/for-mac#2320

  • Upgrades
  • Bug fixes and minor changes
  • New
    • For systems running APFS on SSD on High Sierra, use raw format virtual machine disks by default. This increases disk throughput (from 320MiB/sec to 600MiB/sec in dd on a 2015 MacBook Pro) and disk space handling. Existing disks are kept in qcow format, if you want to switch to raw format you need to “Reset to factory defaults”. To query the space usage of the file, use a command like: $ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/ $ ls -ls Docker.raw 3944768 -rw-r--r--@ 1 user staff 68719476736 Nov 16 11:19 Docker.raw The first number (3944768) is the allocated space in blocks; the larger number 68719476736 is the maximum total amount of space the file may consume in future in bytes.
