It's called Docker.
- keslag 12y agoDocker just spins up a VM on OS X with boot2docker so you don't get any real benefit here.
- ithkuil 12y agoYep, although it creates only one you can run a bunch of containers in it. It feels almost as a native support, but the hack is betrayed by the networking setup. I wish it would be possible to just expose ports on the real localhost.
- keslag 12y agoAbsolutely, I should have specified 'a single vm' in my response. I didn't understand that when I was first trying to understand boot2docker, and now I'm using imprecise language to help confuse others. Thanks for clarifying.
- Jean-Philipe 12y agoDocker is not a VM and only works on Linux.
- billdstrong 12y agoboot2docker is a commandline interface to docker that works on Windows, Mac and Linux. (Maybe *BSDs too.) On non Linux systems, it downoads a prebuilt VM, and runs it with Virtualbox. This is how Docker currently works on other OSes.
