# Apple M1 workaround for Docker

## Prerequisites

You need a dedicated Linux machine (`linux-vm`) (in the cloud or on your VPS, or bare-metal) with Docker installed and SSH enabled (required login using SSH keys).

## Workaround for people who have SSH access to a docker installed linux machine #

### Install go (pre-compiled binaries at [https://golang.org/dl/](https://golang.org/dl/)
(Edit: there are no Darwin arm64 yet, You need to compile or use Homebrew...)

### Open terminal and execute: 

```sh
go get -u -v github.com/docker/cli/cmd/docker
```

### Set a docker context 
with: 
```sh
docker context create linux-vm --docker host=ssh://user@host
```

### Switch to context: 

```sh
docker context use linux-vm
```

### Issue commands as you normally would...

### Or you can directly use an environment variable: 

```sh
export DOCKER_HOST=ssh://user@host
```
