    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?

      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.
