I want to start docker in a mac virtual machine.
How do I set up hardware virtualization I have successfully installed the mac virtual machine?

I'm having the same issue, running latest docker on guest will throw "Incompatible CPU detected error" and that it requires a processor with virtualization and hypervisor support.
@sickcodes any idea how to have this done? i'm using Big Sur BTW

This works on Monterrey M1 hardware, I would like to test it this week on virtual

Edit: failed on Ryzen, unaware of Intel results though

@sickcodes It worked after applying changes from here https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/pull/312 and just:

docker run -it --device /dev/kvm -p 50922:10022 -v ~/mac_hdd_ng_auto_big_sur.img:/image -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e 'NOPICKER=false' -e 'DISPLAY=:0' -e 'RAM=half'  sickcodes/docker-osx:naked

I need to run Docker or Virtualbox on Docker-OSX as well.
As far as I understand from @omarking05 's lastest message, cpu=max is already merged in the latest release.
The virtual CPU could not be identified to be KVM compatible.
Even I am specifying this, it does not work neither.

I am using docker-compose up instead of running the command line for ease of future modification.

May I know what have I done wrongly?

qemu-system-x86
-cpu max,vendor=GenuineIntel \
-machine q35,${KVM-"accel=kvm:tcg"} \

I am considering the following changes.

VMX doesn't show up, but apparently it should work on Intel.

I will give it a test on Digital Ocean, which lets you select AMD or Intel, unless someone wants to.

I can use QEMU without hardware acceleration. If anyone needs Docker you may take a look on this issue:

This won't work as it's already defined above in the variable called CPU

This will work though (testing rn):

-e CPU=max \
-e CPUID_FLAGS='vendor=GenuineIntel' \

It boots only without setting CPU=max.
With CPU=max set it just keeps bootloop.
