Unfortunately, installing the Docker client is currently broken, at least via brew: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/6256 https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/6256 — This made it into 1.0 The CHANGELOG states Production support as the 1.0 feature, but how am I supposed to be confident using Docker 1.0 in production if I can't use the client from my own machine? Or is there some other preferred install method?

The very first thing I clicked on was "Try It!"[0] in the header. I was then promptly greeted with a 404 error. I'm with you on this one. Not exactly confident about using this in a production environment quite yet. [0]https://www.docker.com/resources/tutorial/ https://www.docker.com/resources/tutorial/

  You need to use docker pull learn/tutorial - not: docker pull tutorial

In fairness, nobody is using brew to install something on their production environment.

  Really? Never read/worked/etc in a os x server environment, but it seems like brew would be a good package manager for automating installs...

    Hardly anyone uses os x server.

  I do, however, like using the Docker OS X client to interface with my staging and production environments.

Anecdote. Have only very recently tried to install Discourse via Docker on Centos 6.5 (the only recommended way to install Discourse now) and it failed. edit: yes I realise that the docs tell you to use a 64-bit version of a recent Ubuntu

  The Discourse Docker image doesn't seem to be very well maintained. I tried it and it ran for ages before failing. Don't judge docker by it. I couldn't get it to work but I'm using Docker to handle my XMPP server (as a test of the tools) and quite happy with it.

This https://docs.docker.com/installation/mac/ https://docs.docker.com/installation/mac/ says to use a download and doesn't mention homebrew. If it doesn't work then I understand not feeling confident in their release, so you should try it! TLDR: Homebrew does not appear to be an official install method.

  Thanks a bunch for that link; I wasn't aware that they had also released a very handy .pkg installer for boot2docker + docker. The installer works perfectly and, since it's the officially supported installer method, I'm polling to get the docker and boot2docker formulae removed from Homebrew to ease confusion: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/pull/30013 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/pull/30013

Homebrew is not an officially supported target. We build an official Darwin client as part of every release, on a Linux server using go cross-compile. Build failure of that target (or any target) would atomically roll back the entire release. You can check out our build and release tooling in the ./hack subdirectory. Fwiw I use the Darwin build every day and it works great.
