 I installed Bitcoin Core on a Mac and want to migrate to bitcoind + cli using Docker containers. I already have it up to date with the blockchain and with txindex set to 1.

Do you have a guide or could you please explain how to do it?

 hm good question. i don’t use Docker. what’s the user experience that having it containerized gets you? 🤔

 For isolation from the rest of the system. 

But I guess it’s alright I just wanna get rid of Bitcoin Qt and have it all in the background.

 You'll want to mount you bitcoin data directory to tbe docked container. Then specify the correct data dir in bitcoin conf file for the bitcoind running in the container.
