You could configure dockerd (in the VM) to listen on TCP [1][2], then, back in OpenBSD, define & export `DOCKER_HOST` [3] and from then on use the 'docker' client on OpenBSD [4] without even having to ssh into Alpine. Warning: I have not yet tested this yet, but it's about the same way as it works on macOS. Also, I would have probably tried to use boot2docker [5] as guest instead of Alpine.

Brilliant! I totally forgot about boot2docker. I remember it from when the Docker tooling on macOS was rough. I didn't notice the docker client was in the ports tree. I may have to give this a go later this week.

  Ultimately a good way to make this easier may be to use docker-machine and write some docker-machine-driver-vmm, like there is for e.g xhyve[0]. [0]: https://github.com/zchee/docker-machine-driver-xhyve https://github.com/zchee/docker-machine-driver-xhyve

  You can also use LinuxKit[1] on OpenBSD I believe; this is what we now use to build Docker for Mac and we are continuing to open source this code. EDIT: we have an openbsd developer on the team that built LinuxKit and Docker for Mac, so we should be able to help fix any issues...
