Let’s put some Docker in your OSX
The easier way to install Docker is with the Docker Toolbox.
Docker toolbox install:
- Docker Client
- Docker Machine
- Docker Compose
- Docker Kitematic
- VirtualBox
You can install Docker Toolbox via Homebrew
> brew install docker-toolbox
You can run a Docker terminal with the VM boot2docker started and environment variable configured by running Docker Quickstart Terminal app.
Or you can run it by yourself with Docker Machine
# List Docker Machine available
> docker-machine ls
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM
default virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.101:2376
# To start a docker machine akka VM
# > docker-machine start <DOCKER-MACHINE-NAME>
> docker-machine start default
# To create a new docker machine
# docker-machine create --driver=<VM-DRIVER> <NAME-OF-VM>
# --driver=virtualbox is use in OSX to run with boot2docker
> docker-machine create --driver=virtualbox registry
To allow your docker-client to speak with your docker daemon inside your docker machine… Huf… you follow me, right?.
So, you need to configure some environment variables like DOCKER_HOST=<IP-OF-VM>.
docker-machine help you on that with:
> eval $(docker-machine env virtual-slave)
# If you want to run connect to your vm with a specific shell you can use (like the awesome oh-my-zsh) --shell=<SHELL-NAME>
> eval $(docker-machine env virtual-slave --shell=zsh)
