Just try to build any kernel driver (that requires gcc-4.9) in an alpine container on top of docker mac beta.(This is not a bug but a feature request) Steps to reproduce the behavior I’d just like to have the choice when I start doing kernel work. I get the trade-off between all of that goodness and the slimmed down version of the distro running underneath. Mac for beta is pretty nifty, certainly consumes less resources, results in longer battery life.As a dev I’d rather not run it as my base environment. I think Alpine linux is awesome to run your final app (even in prod).While this can easily be done using a linux box, I use Mac to do my development.This can be tedious and cause a significant degradation in user experience for folks moving to Docker to build their apps. Turns out, Alpine package manager has limited set of packages forcing devs to build these from source. I expect to do the same w “Docker mac” Actual behavior With docker-machine (running distro of my choice - b2d (debian, tce), ubuntu, centos), I could do this easily. I’d like to be able to run specific versions of libs (gcc, libc, openssl…) when I build my kernel modules for my app (hobby app: trying to run my raspberry pi based coffee machine on docker!). Currently the base VM is Alpine linux Kernel version 4.4.6 and I don’t have a choice to pick another distro. Context If my docker app were to require a kernel module, I’d have to build my module on the same environment as the base VM that the Docker Mac Beta runs on.

Monitorian 4.4.6 instal the new for mac
