Check out boot2docker: http://github.com/steeve/boot2docker http://github.com/steeve/boot2docker It's a 25MB vm which boots a working docker installation in 5 seconds. I use it on my mac with virtualbox, and connect to it from the native docker client. That way I can run unmodified docker containers almost anywhere :)
