If you're using docker on mac, you're probably not using it there for easy scaling (which was the reason docker was created back then), but for the "it just works" feeling when using your development environment. But docker introduces far too much incidental complexity compared to simply using a good package manager. A good package manager can deliver the same "it just works" feeling of docker while being far more li…

The point of using Docker on Mac is to ensure that your local dev environment is the same as your deploy environment, and avoid that ever-delightful "well it works on my machine, not sure what's breaking on the build server" experience.

If I had a yearly quota on HN for upvotes, I'd use all of them on this. > Volume mounting for your code and data: volume data access works correctly, including file change notifications (on Mac inotify now works seamlessly inside containers for volume mounted directories). This enables edit/test cycles for “in container” development. This (filesystem notifications) was one of the major drawbacks for using Docker on M…

Does it mean no `VBox shares` mmap bug limiting the use of volumes in Cassandra and MongoDB containers?

This is an amazing announcement, but... The beta requires a NDA. The source code is also not available. This gives the impression that this will be a closed commercial product and that really takes the wind out of my sails.

From the blog post: "Many of the OS-level integration innovations will be open sourced to the Docker community when these products are made generally available later this year."

Yes, I'll be excited when the lower bits will be open sourced, as that is what I care most to see (I don't even run Mac/Windows). But in an era when even Microsoft is open sourcing and giving developer tools away for free, the idea that this won't be an open source product is odd.

I'm really hoping that this will be available via homebrew and not a way to force everyone to use Docker Toolbox or, god forbid, the Mac App Store.

Docker Toolbox just brings back too many nightmares from Adobe's awful Updater apps.

But not all? Any comment from the Docker folks on here? I thought docker was open source.
