How to run a macOS VM and Docker together on macOS native using Parallels

I wanted to run macOS inside macOS. But the goal of that task, was running docker in the macOS VM. Since I’m mostly a macOS user and therefore, I prefer to use Parallels, to run my VMs.

This steps were run inside an Intel Processor i9 series 10. I can’t relate if it will work in a M1 processor.

Remember, the VM needs to be shut down before updating any configuration

🔀 Steps

They’re pretty simple so far. Go to VM configuration -> Hardware -> Boot Order -> Advanced Settings -> Boot Flags . Write the following text.

kernel.nvmx.enable=1

Then, press OK.

Make sure to assign enough RAM to your macOS VM, because it eats a lot.
