Docker Desktop + macOS 14 Apple Silicon: Works; amd64 Images Run via Emulation

Docker Desktop + macOS 14 Apple Silicon (M-series)

Docker Desktop on macOS 14 Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) runs natively using virtualization. `linux/arm64` containers run at full speed. Images built only for `linux/amd64` run via QEMU emulation — functional but slower. Always specify `--platform` in Dockerfiles and `docker run` for reproducible multi-arch builds. Enable Rosetta in Docker Desktop settings for faster x86 emulation.

Required Flags / Config

--platform linux/arm64--platform linux/amd64 (for emulated x86 containers)

Workarounds & Fixes

Multi-arch build: `docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t yourimage .`
In Dockerfile: `FROM --platform=linux/amd64 image` for amd64-only base images
Enable Rosetta in Docker Desktop > Settings > General for faster amd64 emulation
