A Docker Vagrant box that's configured to be used from your Mac

Go

Install Virtualbox, Vagrant and Homebrew

• https://www.virtualbox.org/
• http://www.vagrantup.com
• http://brew.sh

Install Docker on your Mac using Homebrew

brew update
brew install docker

Start up a VM running Ubuntu with Docker installed:

	git clone https://github.com/pokle/dockbox.git
	cd dockbox
	vagrant up

On your Mac, use the bundled docker client:

	export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.8.8
	docker version

And since you're brave:

	echo export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.8.8 >> ~/.bashrc

What does all that do?

Take a look at the Vagrantfile - https://github.com/pokle/dockbox/blob/master/Vagrantfile

Trouble?

If your first 'vagrant up' times out, don't panic. It's still installing. If something fails, and you want to re-try installing, try:

	vagrant provision

If you want to upgrade your version of Docker

	vagrant ssh
	sudo aptitude dist-upgrade lxc-docker

To uninstall (deletes the VM, and all your work on the VM - images, containers, etc.)

	vagrant destroy
