### Docker Desktop for Mac Installation and Configuration Guide For users interested in setting up Docker Desktop specifically on macOS, it's important to understand that accessing a Docker Cloud account directly through Docker for Mac is supported[^1]. However, this statement alone doesn't cover the full scope of installation or potential issues faced by those who might have initially installed Docker Desktop instead of ensuring all necessary components like `docker.service` are properly set up. When considering Docker Desktop for Mac: - **Installation**: The official method involves downloading Docker Desktop from the official website. Once downloaded, open the `.dmg` file and drag the application into the Applications folder. - **Configuration**: - After installing Docker Desktop, launching the app will prompt configuration options including resource allocation (CPU, memory). - For GPU support especially when working with frameworks such as TensorFlow-GPU inside containers, additional steps may be required depending on hardware compatibility and driver versions available at Intel AI models documentation[^3]. - **Troubleshooting Common Issues**: - If encountering problems similar to missing `docker.service`, ensure Docker Engine rather than just Docker Desktop has been correctly installed since Docker Desktop includes its own version of the Docker Engine but sometimes configurations differ based on operating systems[^2]. To disable `dnsmasq` in NetworkManager which could interfere with Docker DNS settings without changing Docker daemon’s configuration to use a specific IP address, one should refer to detailed instructions provided elsewhere[^4], although primarily targeted towards Linux environments, some principles apply broadly across platforms using NetworkManager. ```bash sudo mkdir -p /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/ echo "[main]" | sudo tee /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/dnsmasq.conf echo "dns=none" | sudo tee -a /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/dnsmasq.conf sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager ``` This script demonstrates how to modify system-level network manager settings outside of Docker itself, potentially resolving connectivity issues experienced during container operations.
