Change Docker for Mac Engine /etc files

Docker Desktop

I have some troubles, with Docker for Mac, because I’m using a Private Trusted Registry in a LAN and we have to configure the ips and hosts in /etc/hosts file.
As far as I know, Docker for Mac doesn’t provide a way to add new files to the Engine easely, and the way I found to do that, doesn’t persist the changes after restarting the Docker App.

Looking to other solutions, I have created a workaround to add attach content to Docker Engine /etc files, create /etc files and add certificates to the Docker Engine.

The idea is to run a container that will make the changes for you, and run it always, even after a Docker Engine restart.
If you want to take a look to the solution just go to this Github repository and feel free to make any suggestion or comments.

The problem of this solution is that the changes are not persisted when you restart Docker Engine.
