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

Can I get in on this too please? Hoping to get my team onto docker in the next couple of months. Docker ID is vr3690. Thanks!

Sounds promising. But I'd like to see Docker work with Microsoft to produce something even better for Windows, using the new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). With WSL, Docker and Microsoft should be able to bring Linux-based Docker containers to Windows, without the performance hit and resource fragmentation that inevitably come with virtualization. True, WSL doesn't support namespaces and cgroups, but IIUC, Window…

What is the use case though? What would be even better is if MS created a "windows container" that could run under Linux, then you could just ditch windows all together. I don't see big companies using something this hackish for containers that are running on servers anyway. For working on the desktop this might come in handy for devs, but honestly I think MS should focus their energy on something else.

The same use cases as Linux. Being able to isolate applications, being able to allocate resources more fluidly, being able to centralize management all the better. Windows has actually gained some real nice virtualization management over the past few versions, and this would fit right in with them.

Our team just started using docker to deploy our apps to Marathon and it would be great to try out the Beta. Docker ID is robconley. Thanks.

I'm also in the beta, and I like it a lot. It's functionally equivalent to `dlite`, which Nathan LaFreniere has done an extremely good job on. He deserves massive credit for making OSX Docker dev bearable and for providing the inspiration for "Docker for Mac". A few issues I've seen: 1. I cannot believe they are using `docker.local`. This hostname will cause nothing but trouble for years to come. DON'T USE `.local`!…

Don't use .dev either, it is/is going to be a TLD now: https://icannwiki.com/.dev.

There are some reserved suffixes, including .localhost and .test: https://iyware.com/dont-use-dev-for-development/.

Id love to be fast tracked - most of the people at my current employer use macs for day to day work, so having a slick native use case would be a godsend!

My ID is the same as my name here, karunamon. Thanks!

Question: Is this compatible with OS X 10.9.x or earlier? Or is it only for the latest pieces of shit that are 10.10/10.11? edit thanks for the correction netheril96! I'm curious about the state of compatibility because I've drawn a line in the sand -- and refuse to upgrade from 10.9 (since many things seem to be getting only worse and less stable in MAC OS land :).

The minimum OS X version to run Docker for Mac is 10.10.3 :)

I would love to try it out. Use about 20 micro services for local development on my Mac. UserId is sdelmore and I am signed up for the beta.

Until Dockrap (and its various predecessors and friends) are compatible with IT depts setting their VPN config to disallow local network access, fuck all that hipster stuff and use good old self-configured services. Hipster bullshit that can't be used in any org that remotely takes care of their network (hint: any big corporation will mandate this by contracts with huge liability figures in the contracts).

To the users: if you can't configure a simple local web server for development, you should not be qualified to develop a web service. Period. (Hint: Apache and PHP is included in OS X, but a bit outdated to be fair - but you can install/upgrade to a OAMP stack using MacPorts in MINUTES)
