"Unlike a true VM, a docker container does not also require a host OS"
Shouldn't that be guest OS?

#22Is docker ready for production? Is someone using it on real production environments? Most recipes at Docker Registy are a mess, and with plenty of bugs
I guess it depends on what you want to do.. I stopped caring and looking at docker after reading this: http://iops.io/blog/docker-hype/
Using btrfs as cow is not ready for production (yet and likely not in the near future) - believing otherwise made the last few feeks quite miserable.

#23The short introduction on that tutorial is much better than that actual docker site and 10-15 min interactive tutorial on what docker actually is and what it can be used for. A note to other developers, it's a good idea to not use some language without first defining the word... Especially if it's an overloaded term.
The introduction on this PDF is a good complement: https://d0.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/docker-on-aws.pdf

Docker on bare metal would be pretty nice though.

Yep. Using it with Deis in production though I don't use Docker Registry images. Baidu is probably one of the largest production user.

#27The new Nitrous Pro (https://pro.nitrous.io) has a docker template you can use if you don't feel like installing boot2docker locally.
There's also a bunch of advanced docker options you can check out:
http://docs.nitrous.io/v1.0/docs/advanced-container-manageme...
Would be a good compliment to the docker jumpstart manual.

Yes. The one thing it does require is a host OS!

For some reason I found docker very unintuitive, even writing a simple build script was confusing. I agree, this book would have done a much better job of introduction than the docker site.
Out of interest, what did you find confusing/unintuitive? I'm writing a book on Docker so am interested in where the pain points are.

#30Earlier quoted context omitted.
Give Docker Machine a try https://docs.docker.com/machine/ Machine makes it really easy to create Docker hosts on your computer, on cloud providers and inside your own data center. It creates servers, installs Docker on them, then configures the Docker client to talk to them. Kitematic is another option https://kitematic.com
For some reason, when using docker machine on a mac, the VM always fails to start and freezes at the "VM starting" phase. For this reason, I've had to switch back to boot2docker.
Super sorry to hear - we've had some issues with VirtualBox around networking and some setups we didn't anticipate -- Would be really appreciative if you'd give the latest 0.3.0 release candidate a whirl and see if it fixes the issue for you: https://github.com/docker/machine/releases.
