So if I'm using dlite now, and I want to transition to Docker for Mac once I get into the Beta...what do I need to do? Fully uninstall dlite? Can they be run side by side? (assuming no)

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

Just signed up for the beta as shipstar. Pretty exciting stuff!

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`!…

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.

Which seems to confirm what the original poster wrote - it sounds like a bad idea using it on OSX where it collides with bonjour.

Hello -- I lead a team developing a very complex enterprise application. We have already spent a lot of time with Docker to simplify our CI system. I'd love to join the Docker for OSX beta to figure out how we can all start using it for development. This will enable us to delete tons of ugly code.

Thanks! My docker ID is: kevinmtrowbridge

Have you (or someone) filed a ticket? It's beta, after all. But yeah, good catch.

I just installed docker for mac after getting an invite in this thread, and this is the _only_ issue I'm facing. If I access the IP, it works extremely well. But if I use `docker.local`, then it takes about 5-6 seconds to connect, most of that in name resolution.
