The Mac IP address on my home network is 192.168.0.2.On the Wireguard tunnel, I've given my Mac IP 10.11.0.2 and the Docker Linux VM IP 10.11.0.3.IP address 10.11.12.128-254 are dynamically allocated to containers that are run with "-network Mynet" but not assigned a static IP. I've got a Docker network name "Mynet" that I put containers on with statically assigned IP addresses (e.g., "-network Mynet -ip 10.11.12.10").In case anyone else finds this useful, here are details of my setup. So I'm using Wireguard to tunnel between the Linux VM and the Mac, so that the container IPs end up visible on the Mac. The container's IP is not visible to the Mac, just to the Linux VM. Bridged networking there just bridges the containers to the Linux VM. ĭocker Mac runs a Linux VM and then runs your containers on that Linux VM. To access something on I'd then just use. I'd simply use bridged networking in the container which would give the container an IP that works for things running on the Linux host. If I were running Docker on Linux this would not be a problem. If Docker Mac works as well on Apple Silicon I might be able to just stick with that and not need either VMWare or Parallels. Specifically, Wireguard between the Linux VM that Docker Mac creates to run containers and the Mac. That turned out to be not too difficult to deal with by using Wireguard. E.g., if I've got a server that would be foo.com when live on a real server that I'm testing locally in a container, I want it to appear at some_ip:443 on my Mac, not on something like localhost:8443 that Docker maps to port 443 in the container. The only real snag was that I want services running in a Docker container to be reachable from Mac processes on the same port they would be on when deployed on a real server somewhere. I recently have switched to using Docker for that. Most of my use of VMWare Fusion on my Intel Mac is to run Linux VMs. That's assuming that I decide that I actually need such a product. If your guest machine is 64 bit, then I assume you double click the "setup64.exe" file.)ġ4) Follow the steps in the Install Wizard.I don't like that Parallels requires a subscription to get more than 8 GB of RAM in a virtual machine so I'll be sticking with VMWare Fusion when I get an Apple Silicon Mac. Wait for Windows 7 to fully start up.ġ0) Plug in the usb drive and choose to open it in the windows virtual machine.ġ1) Now go into the guest Windows 7 Machine.ġ2) Click on "Explorer" and copy the "Tools Install" folder from the usb drive to the Windows 7 desktop.ġ3) Open the Tools Install folder on the Windows 7 desktop and double click the "setup.exe" file. Take the usb drive out.ĩ) Open the VMware app and start your virtual windows 7 machine. After a while, with a little guess work, this is what I figured out, which worked just fine:ġ) Open a window in the Finder app and click on the "Applications" folder in the left side bar.Ģ) Right click VMware Fusion.app, and click "Show Package Contents"ģ) Click and open folders Contents/Library/isoimagesĤ) Copy the file "windows.iso" to your desktop, and then close this finder window.ĥ) Create a new folder on your desktop and name it "Tools Install."Ħ) On your desktop, right click the file "windows.iso", and click the top choice "Open" in the drop down list.ħ) Select everything that is inside the window which pops up and copy it all into the new "Tools Install" folder you just created.Ĭopy this "Tools Install" folder onto an external usb drive/stick. I looked around for a solution without any success. In the drop down it said that it was installing Tools, but after waiting a while, nothing at all was happening. When I tried to reinstall Tools from the VMware app(while the virtual machine is running) menu bar/Virtual Machine/Install VMware Tools - nothing happened. So, I uninstalled VMware Tools from within windows/control panel/add-remove programs. I had trouble with copying from my mac host osx10.11 to my windows 7 guest machine.
