Hi, Thanks for your helpful post. I have 3 follow-up questions.
A) The link in the last line is no longer functional. Does the resource still exist please? B) Can your process be extended to run Visual Studio inside a windows docker container on a macOS? If so, is it installing docker inside of the windows VM and Visual studio inside of container? Am totally new to Docker. C) This is using a Windows preview so it is that you have only 180 days and then your installation becomes inactive and you have to delete it from the VM?
Any assistance gratefully received.
What’s Docker for Mac & for Windows? In March this year, Docker finally announced and released a native support for Mac and Windows. Docker started with a closed beta, only providing access to a couple of early adopters.
Since June 20th, you can get Docker for Mac & Windows in public beta. Therefore you can download Docker for Mac & Windows for free. Though, don’t forget it’s still beta. And according to the official documentation Docker for Windows and Docker for Mac share some common code base, however it seems that Docker for Windows still is a bit more beta.
Boot2docker Vs Docker Machine
Docker for Mac is a game changer. Docker for Mac is the latest offering for Mac which runs as a native OS X application and uses xhyve to virtualize the Docker Engine environment and Linux kernel-specific features.
Why is this so great? Because Docker for Mac allows you to easily run Docker as a native app on your Mac. Or as Noah Zoshke: Docker for Mac is a game changer.
While you might have encountered a couple of problems and errors with your Docker Toolbox, it seems pretty promising. And most importantly: No more VirtualBox! You don’t need docker-machine to run Docker for Mac. Docker for Mac vs Docker Toolbox If you’ve already been using Docker via the Docker Toolbox, you might wonder how the native Docker for Mac influences your existing projects. Before installing Docker for Mac, I’d recommend checking out of Docker for Mac vs Docker Toolbox. Basically, you can use Docker for Mac and Docker Toolbox together on the same machine.
Docker’s official documentation recommends making sure that all Docker environment variables are unset (see detailed installation process below). Installing Docker for Mac So, first things first. In order to get started, you need to download Docker for Mac:. Docker for Mac Be aware, that it still is in public beta, and Docker claims that some functionalities might change before a public release. After you’ve downloaded the file, you’ll see that it’s the standard installation process, similar to a lot of other OS X applications.
You simply execute the.dmg file and you’ll drag the Docker app in your applications folder. Docker might ask you for some root permissions to install some things. After you’re done with the installation process, a little helper will appear in the OS X bar. You’re good to go now. Docker is up and running. If you’re now opening up your terminal (and you’ve been using Docker Toolbox before) you might run into the same problem as I did. If you run docker-compose up you might experience this conflict with your Docker Toolbox (see screenshot below).
Dockers Black Boots
It looked like Docker for Mac had some problems, due to my installed Docker toolbox. In a first step you need to check whether Toolbox DOCKER environment variables are set. $ env grep DOCKER If this command returns no output, you are ready to use Docker. If it returns an output (as shown in my screenshot above), you need to unset the DOCKER environment variables. You can do that by running the following command: unset DOCKERTLSVERIFY unset DOCKERCERTPATH unset DOCKERMACHINENAME unset DOCKERHOST As you can see in the screenshot above, unsetting the variables enabled me to start building Hugo. Running containers on the local host network Docker for Mac also includes a DNS server for containers.
And if you’re using Docker in a corporate environment with a restrictive VPN, the good news is that Docker for Mac works there too. Uninstalling old Docker files and apps I’ve been using the Docker Toolbox for more than a year now. And in this time I collected quite a lot of files and stuff, which are now replaced by Docker for Mac. So, I’ve been pretty excited to uninstall the following files and apps:. Docker Toolbox (Docker Machine, Docker Quickstart Terminal, Kitematic). VirtualBox (with it’s Docker files). The whole folder.docker (with more than 4.8 GB of size).
The folder.boot2docker Summary We have been using the Docker Toolbox for the last 12 months or so and are now pretty excited about Docker for Mac! The installation was pretty smoothly and we’ve seen a lot of advantages of using Docker for Mac compared to Docker Toolbox. However, there might appear some glitches as Docker for Mac is in beta. Here’s a quick summary with the best benefits of using Docker for Mac:. Pretty smooth and simple installation process.
No more VirtualBox!. No problems with virtual machines, filesystems or other bugs you might have encountered with the Docker Toolbox. Fast mount volumes of host file system (file change detection now also works inside docker machines!). So far Docker on Mac behaves like Docker on Linux (which means NO more custom versions of scripts for Mac!). If you’ve been using the Docker Toolbox, you can uninstall a lot of stuff!.
