Hi all. We know the experience of using Docker on OSX is not perfect today. The default virtualbox configuration for file sharing is slow and buggy. You need to use 3 different CLIs (`docker`, `docker-machine`, `docker-compose`) which are not well integrated. 3d-party clients need to reimplement everything themselves. The standard clients are not configurable or customizable enough.
We plan on solving all of this. There is a new team at Docker focused entirely on solving "Developer Experience" problems. This initial release of Toolbox is a starting point: a convenience packaging of existing tools. But we are going to update it with more and more improvements.
In short: we are going to work hard to make the experience of using Docker to develop on Mac OS X (and Windows) much, much better.
- nogox 11y agoHi Solomon, It is great to hear you guys are working on that. I find Hyper is pretty interesting to run Docker on Mac https://hyper.sh/blog/post/2015/07/30/running-containers-from-mac-os-x.html https://hyper.sh/blog/post/2015/07/30/running-containers-fro....
- shykes 11y agoI think Hyper is interesting as a backend for Docker in production use cases where you need to extra isolation of VMs... But in development in doesn't make much sense to run each container in a separate VM. So I'm not convinced we need this extra layer of abstraction.
