OS X has no containerisation equivalent. The closest thing is the venerable chroot, but the behaviour is not comparable.

Perhaps a Docker chroot backend could be built though, for easier development on OS X.

I was just thinking what a pain it is to have to use VMs/ssh in order to get access to containers from my Mac OS machine. It made be (semi-seriously) consider getting a Linux machine as my next laptop. I'm still a bit skeptical but it is a start to think about it.
Just dual boot Arch on your current machine, it's pretty easy and you get to keep using the Mac hardware! :D
