raphtlw/solana-docker-mac-m1

Docker image for Solana development on Apple Silicon (arm64)

Solana Docker for Apple Silicon

Docker config for Macs running Apple Silicon, to support development on Solana

GHCR & Docker Hub Support

unfortunately the bozos at Microsoft don't want to support ARM64 so you'll have to build the image yourself before you can use it

Quickstart

docker build github.com/raphtlw/solana-docker-mac-m1 -t raphtlw/solana

Usage

Note, docker run creates a new container every time. The following commands show how you can re-use the same container.

If you'd like to use the container only once as a command, see below.

Start the container

Create a new instance of a container running a test validator in the background

$ docker run --name solana -d raphtlw/solana solana-test-validator

Run a test validator

You can start a test validator inside the container

$ docker exec -it raphtlw/solana solana-test-validator

Drop into a shell

$ docker exec -it raphtlw/solana fish

Short-lived container

You can quickly start a new ephemeral container and run a specific solana program inside

$ docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/tmp raphtlw/solana <command to run>

You can alias it into a command for easier access:

$ alias solana="docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/tmp raphtlw/solana"

Example running a solana cluster:

$ solana run-cluster
