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

Docker id: tomislavf

Thank you

I have Docker for Windows Beta, but when I've installed it on my Surface Pro 3, it immediately caused the device to get stuck in a BSOD loop. I think it has something to do with Hyper-V and connnected standby but I'm not 100% sure. Wasn't able to find an answer because it's so early on. I really want to get into Docker, but that bug has killed any possibility of me adopting it as of right now. I did install it on a d…

I'm sorry for your laptop experience and glad you got it working on your desktop. There are good chances it is related to Hyper-V but would need more info to debug. Could you send us your logs to beta-feedback@docker.com? Docker for Windows still requires elevated privileges to start. This will be addressed in a couple of releases

We are using docker for developing and testing services in the same environment they are put in production in: Debian. My personal docker ID is chrisbuchholz.

Hey, I don't see you on the beta list as having signed up. You'll need to have signed up at https://beta.docker.com/ first.

Yeah, I dunno why I thought I was. I am now, though, so if you don't mind, please go ahead and fast-tract me through the waiting list :)

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 use…

I know how macports works. I just don't want my whole team to deal with small differences which cause the dreaded "works on my machine". I'm not saying docker is perfect, but at least those guys[Docker inc.] are trying to make a shift to something at least a bit more immutable then what you are suggesting.

I thought we should be using .local because it was specified in RFC 6762. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local

The very first paragraph of that article says: > The implementation of both approaches on the same network can be problematic, however, so resolving such names via “unicast” DNS servers has fallen into disfavor as computers, printers and other devices supporting zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) have become increasingly common.

Or it was a bad idea for apple and bonjour to collide with an established RFC.

Why should everyone else change their ways because apple made an error?

Interesting, this is the first time I'm reading about it [1]. Well, if anything it looks like a web app would have to be rebuilt from the ground up to fit that model. I haven't yet read much about it, but here's a few questions that pop up immediately: 1) If you have a container per data object, doesn't that mean you also have to start a process every time a user opens a document? So forget about doing any computatio…

> it looks like a web app would have to be rebuilt from the ground up to fit that model. Not at all! The app market is full of apps that were not originally written for Sandstorm: https://apps.sandstorm.io/ Examples: Wekan, Etherpad, Rocket.Chat, EtherCalc, draw.io, Gogs, Dillinger, NodeBB, EtherDraw, ... It turns out that converting a web app to Sandstorm is mostly deleting code. You delete your user management, you…

> Most apps we've encountered only take a couple seconds to start. But we're working on a trick where we snapshot the process after startup and start each grain from the snapshot, thus essentially optimizing away any startup-time slowness.

This is very interesting. I've been looking for something like this since 2007 for optimizing the startup time of some apps. However I couldn't find any suitable technologies for this purpose; VM memory snapshotting is heavyweight and is slower than starting an app from scratch, OS-level tools like cryopid can't even be called alpha-level. What kind of snapshot technology do you intend to use, and how confident are you that it will work well?

Thanks for the offer, shykes! I'm currently using Docker to emulate and test a server setup (multiple web servers talking to multiple databases) locally and I plan on using it to check cross-compiled linux binaries (using Rust and MUSL).

My Docker ID is 'killercup'.

It's not "Apple's error", .local is now an IANA reserved special-use domain name for multicast DNS, i.e. in the same category as .example and .test.
