In Multipass, that bloat is contained, and a fresh slate is just one command away.īut, above all else, being able to freely select the host operating system for your containers gives you ultimate flexibility and control on which kernel that host runs. Moreover, cloud-native developers know all too well the sinking feeling of the container image registry getting out of control and bogging the entire operating system down. All the rest resides inside your Virtual Machine, without tainting your setup with excess tooling or dependencies. First of all, you have nothing to install on your main operating system beyond Multipass itself. We’re excited about this new Docker workflow for a few reasons. Users can interact with Docker without switching contexts. By running: multipass alias docker:docker Thanks to aliases, the Docker workflow allows users to issue docker commands directly from their host command line – no need to install the docker CLI. With a straightforward setup, Multipass will now host virtual machines running Docker, and you can interact with the Docker daemon inside the virtual machine as if it were running on your main operating system. That way, you can be sure to always start from as clean a state as your CI does.

Multipass lets you launch and kill environments at will with easy one-command instructions. Multipass can now provide a fresh VM running Docker Engine with just a single command: multipass launch dockerĮphemeral or persistent, you decide. Today, the Multipass team is delighted to enhance this experience for developers working with containerised applications! A single command Whether you prefer the GUI of macOS ( even on M1), Windows or any other Linux, the unmatched experience of developing software on Ubuntu is there at your fingertips, just one “multipass launch” away. Multipass exists to bring Ubuntu-based development to the operating system of your choice. One single command, no dependencies, full flexibility. Multipass has a new workflow tailored to run Docker containers on macOS, Windows or Linux.
