  • Docker has OS or not? , obviously no, remember docker vs virtual machine. Docker is lightweight virtualization, For Linux docker, the container always runs/shares on linux/host kernel, docker image supplies the necessary files, libs, utilities, etc.

  • We have ubuntu, centos, alpine docker image, they can run in the same host OS, the key differences are filesystem/libraries, they share the host OS kernel. see this post, also see the second answer: “Since the core kernel is common technology, the system calls are expected to be compatible even when the call is made from an Ubuntu user space code to a Redhat kernel code. This compatibility make it possible to share the kernel across containers which may all have different base OS images.”

  • Docker run on MacOS, Docker on Mac actually creates a Linux VM by LinuxKit and containers run on it.
