Can Mac OS X be run inside Docker? [closed]

Docker provides methods for managing OS-level containers and is built on top of Linux’s native features for OS-level containerization. All containers running on a system share the same kernel; Mac OS X does not use the Linux kernel, but rather a mach kernel, so it cannot be run inside a Docker container at this time.

You can run Docker on your Mac using a virtual machine, but containers running on that instance would need to run Linux.

Now that Docker uses libcontainer rather than LXC as its basis, it is possible that porting of libcontainer in the future could one day allow for running Windows and Mac OS Docker containers on those systems respectively, but it would depend on appropriate OS features being available to allow for containerization.
