We're all doing the same thing

[bfirsh]

Looks like @steeve is working on an almost identical thing for boot2docker. Perhaps we should decide on one and combine our efforts? Perhaps one should be blessed as "official" if it's going to be included in an installer? /cc @shykes

I think the solution from @steeve actually can replace my script except for port forward (only two port are forwarded actually). And it's multiplateforme.

I propose to just redirect this project to boot2docker.

[bfirsh]

Yes, I agree. My wishlist: a hostname for the VM so additional ports don't have to be forwarded (e.g. boot2docker) and a volume mounted at /Users/$USER that points to the home directory on the host machine. If boot2docker has those two things it would be able to replace docker-osx.

I made a start at something a bit more substantial than a bash script ( https://github.com/bfirsh/virtualdocker ), but perhaps in the interests of speed a bash script is the best thing to do for now.

[bfirsh]

boot2docker is also missing setting the DOCKER_HOST variable (see boot2docker/boot2docker#63 ).

FWIW I've replaced docker-osx finally with boot2docker following https://gist.github.com/mmerickel/e213fbe7ec7728e4d043 if anyone else is interested.

[bfirsh]

We're close to getting full support for docker-osx's features in boot2docker.
