I know who I'm inviting to Vegas next trip. Assuming you haven't used up all your luck. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog

For extra fun, use a Windows Insider Preview. VirtualBox was broken on every single update, I think until 5.0.17.

Just tried 5.0.18, still broken.

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'd love to be fast tracked! ID is ssgelm

Hey, any chance we could get 3 character docker ids? I'm smw on twitter, github, hn, reddit. Would love to not have to be 'smw0' on the Docker hub?

If you want to run services in docker containers with Docker Toolbox (e.g. a mysql db), and you want the db stored on the Mac host, then you have to worry about 2 layers of folder mounts (one from host -> vm, one from vm -> container), another 2 layers of port forwarding (same as above), to make it 'feel' like your're running mysql locally. With the beta, all of that is taken care for you with a couple of settings, a…

That's still the case with docker for Mac. Swapping xhyve for virtualbox doesn't eliminate the port forwarding or device mounting.

It does in the latest update. Just run "pinata set native/port-forwarding true" and your docker containers will be accessible via localhost. Previously this only worked with the VPN compatibility mode, but it's available on its own now.

I also recommend running "pinata set network nat".

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…

Already a thing: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowsconta...

Native Docker support in Windows will be available in the next Windows server release, and is already available in the Windows technical preview bits (since TP4).
