Integration With Docker

Note: This functionality is available in Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition only.

Parallels Desktop allows you to run and manage Docker containers as if they were running directly on your Mac. You just need a Linux-based virtual machine (Boot2Docker) that will host your containers.

For more details, please refer to the Docker Machine official documentation: https://docs.docker.com/machine/

Note: When this topic was being written, Docker Machine didn't fully support Parallels Desktop. While we're still working and improving this feature, you can use our custom-built executable file available here.
