Same experience here, both on Mac and Windows. They've done a great job making it "just work". The user interface pieces are a bit raw -- perhaps "minimalist" or "unobtrusive" would put that in a better light! -- but clearly most of the work has gone into the lower level integration, where it shines. Docker for Mac/Windows, once released, will nuke the ick factor on those platforms from orbit, which can only lead to…

I hope there's going to be an easy way to package this with your own docker image in order to have a new way to distribute applications. My usecase is running a server locally so you can use a webapp with local network speed and offline access and lots of local storage.

Oh sure, there's all sorts of integration possibilities. Docker Applets, ActiveDocker, Docker Web Start... ;)

Anybody know if there is a full guide for the migration from toolbox to Mac beta? I've installed the beta, but I'm wondering if there's old cruft that I'll need to uninstall to be completely on the new.

Can anybody in HN provide a quickpath into the beta? I signed up when it was first announced (seems to be over 30 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11352389 ) but haven't heard anything back yet.

If you're comfortable sharing your Docker ID, feel free to share it here and we'll fast-track you! Generally anyone who cares enough to ask directly, we'll automatically add to the top of the list. EDIT: or, feel free to contact us privately with a few details on your configuration and use case: feedback+hn@docker.com

I'm a node.js developer. I understand the benefit of using docker for deployments or CI testing, but I have yet to be convinced of the benefits of using it for development on my local machine. I install node, postgres, and redis natively and it all works fine. What benefits does docker provide to my workflow?

I run a docker-compose file and never, ever have to install node/postgres/redis myself, nor make sure I'm using the right version or have the right configuration files.

I pass the repo, with the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml over to another developer and they do the same thing. They don't spend hours getting node/postgres/redis/whatever set up then fight environment issues to match what my, or staging, or our production environment are.
