To make it a bit easier for yourself, you could use Laravel Herd (instead of MAMP). For the database you can use DBngin. Then you don't need Docker. Both free!
Both very easy to use.

Docker MySQL for Laravel
Hi everyone. My computer is Mac with intel CPU. I am developing Laravel 10 and I am using MAMP for MySQL. Latests Mac update MAMP is not working. This is the reaseon why I need MySQL in Docker. Problem is starting here. I don't know have a can do. I use this docker pull mysql in here https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql. When I try to $ docker run --name some-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -d mysql:tag this command it gives me error. The error is
Unable to find image 'mysql:tag' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: manifest for mysql:tag not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown.
See 'docker run --help'.
How can I work with Docker?

Like @eheins says, Herd is a great option, or just plain old Laravel Valet. Docker is great but as far as I know, it still has some performance issues on Mac.

Valet is indeed also a good solution, as @tray2 indicates. The disadvantage is that, if I remember correctly, you then have to deal with Homebrew for the installation which can also bring some challenges. And Laravel Herd is, as far as I know, built on top of Laravel Valet and easy to install. So you essentially end up using Valet as well.
Docker is indeed very slow on the Mac, as @tray2 points out.
