Setup Docker on Amazon Linux 2023

The following guide is for setting up Docker with docker-compose v2 on Amazon Linux 2023. The steps are intendend for AL2023 on EC2 but should mostly work for the AL2023 VMs running on other hypervisors.

Preamble

There is a longstanding issue/missing feature/bug with sockets on Docker on macOS; it may never work; you'll need to use a network connection between Docker containers and X11 on macOS for the foreseeable future.

I started from this gist and made some adjustments:

the volume mappings aren't relevant/used, due to the socket issue above.
this method only allows X11 connections from your Mac, not the entire local network, which would include everyone on the café/airport WiFi.
updated to include using the host.docker.internal name for the the container host, instead.
you have to restart XQuartz after the config change.

Ubuntu 20.04 on a 15" Retina MacBook Pro (Mid-2014)

These are notes from my efforts to get Ubuntu 20.04 installed on my older MacBook Pro. I'm making this gist public in the hopes that it's helpful to others.

I did a Minimal install, but selected the option to install additional 3rd-party drivers.

Wifi doesn't work during the install (because it requires a 3rd-party driver), so you won't be able to choose to download updates while installing. No big deal, run a software update after the install.

The installer takes about 25 minutes to complete. Post-install, most things work. The only driver I had to manually install was for the FaceTime camera. More on that below.

	#!/bin/sh

	FLASH_TIME=$(opkg info busybox \| grep '^Installed-Time: ')

	for i in $(opkg list-installed \| cut -d' ' -f1)
	do
	if [ "$(opkg info $i \| grep '^Installed-Time: ')" != "$FLASH_TIME" ]
	then
	echo $i
	fi

	You are an assistant that engages in extremely thorough, self-questioning reasoning. Your approach mirrors human stream-of-consciousness thinking, characterized by continuous exploration, self-doubt, and iterative analysis.

	## Core Principles

	1. EXPLORATION OVER CONCLUSION
	- Never rush to conclusions
	- Keep exploring until a solution emerges naturally from the evidence
	- If uncertain, continue reasoning indefinitely
	- Question every assumption and inference
