So you can only use it for development. And it is close sourced. hmmm...

We'd love to get your feedback on the new filesystem engine in the Docker for Mac app. It's been a ton of work to get right, and there a few corner cases in the current beta that we're squashing, but overall things "just work" for my day-to-day Linux development on my Mac using the current beta. At this stage, pointing it to the weirdest and most wonderful filesystem stressers you can find is welcome. We'll leap on a…
Intel's HAXM doesn't (seem to?) play nice, and asks for an exclusive lock. See https://github.com/mist64/xhyve/issues/88 and https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=197915

#64So, buyer beware, especially if said buyer also uses tools like Vagrant.

I've said before that I think the Docker devs have been iterating too fast, favoring features over stability. This development doesn't ease my mind on that point.
EDIT: I'd appreciate feedback on downvotes. Has the issue been addressed, but not reflected in the tickets? Has Docker made changes to xhyve to address the kernel panics?
Re: Docker for Mac and Windows Beta
#65If 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…

#66I don't think Docker can do anything about case sensitivity, but with this new release will permissions differences be handled better?

Re: Docker for Mac and Windows Beta
#68The last time I used xhyve, it kernel panic'ed my mac. Researching this on the xhyve github account [1] showed that it was determined that it's due to a bug with Virtualbox. That is, if you've started a virtual machine since your last reboot with Virtualbox, subsequent starts of xhyve panic. So, buyer beware, especially if said buyer also uses tools like Vagrant.

Is this type of comment discouraged on HN? If so, why?
Re: Docker for Mac and Windows Beta
#69So, let's say if I am developing a Java EE app under windows with eclipse and want to use docker container for my app, how do I go about it?
The importing thing is that WTP doesn't manage the server lifecycle.
