IBM MQ for Apple Silicon


Is there a solution to make this docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/mq run on Apple M1 chips? For Intel chips, I was able to run this image by:

docker run -e LICENSE=accept -e MQ_QMGR_NAME=QM1 -p 1414:1414 -p 9443:9443 ibmcom/mq

Is there a custom build or an official IBM plan to create an Apple M1 compatible version of this image?


Solution

  • The only way I got this to work is to emulate Ubuntu Server with UTM, and install docker and IBMMQ image there. Then you can just connect to the docker container through UTM from your host machine. Not the greatest solution, but atleast a workaround for now.
