#152So on Windows this runs Linux in their isolated environment? I just got excited thinking it meant Windows in Windows but it looks like that's not the case.

#153The last time I used xhyve, it kernel panic'ed my mac. Researching this on the xhyve github account [1] showed that it was determined that it's due to a bug with Virtualbox. That is, if you've started a virtual machine since your last reboot with Virtualbox, subsequent starts of xhyve panic. So, buyer beware, especially if said buyer also uses tools like Vagrant.

I can easily get kernel panic from my Mac using the docker-machine with VirtualBox driver. It just happens so easy if you're not on latest VirtualBox or even possibly on the latest version. It happens almost half of the time to me.

Who downvoted this? This is a real experience report, expressing valid concerns, citing an issue tracker for more information. Is this type of comment discouraged on HN? If so, why?
I didn't downvote, but I'd imagine people don't agree with his criticism of stability because it conflicts with VirtualBox. VirtualBox has to invasively modify your system configuration in order to accomplish virtualization. On the other hand, xhyve is using an OS X sanctioned virtualization technique (hypervisor.framework) that works within sandboxed apps. This is the route going forward that Apple advocates for virtualization, not the method that VirtualBox uses.

#155Does anybody have any guides on setting up dev environments for code within Docker? I recall a Dockercon talk last year from Lyft about spinning up microservices locally using Docker.
We're using Vagrant for development environments, and as the number of microservices grows - the feasibility of running the production stack locally decreases. I'd be interested in learning how to spin up five to ten docker services locally on OSX for service-oriented architecture.
This product from Docker has strong potential.

#156If I had a yearly quota on HN for upvotes, I'd use all of them on this. > Volume mounting for your code and data: volume data access works correctly, including file change notifications (on Mac inotify now works seamlessly inside containers for volume mounted directories). This enables edit/test cycles for “in container” development. This (filesystem notifications) was one of the major drawbacks for using Docker on M…
We'd love to get your feedback on the new filesystem engine in the Docker for Mac app. It's been a ton of work to get right, and there a few corner cases in the current beta that we're squashing, but overall things "just work" for my day-to-day Linux development on my Mac using the current beta. At this stage, pointing it to the weirdest and most wonderful filesystem stressers you can find is welcome. We'll leap on a…
I gotta say I've had about all the VirtualBox I can take in this lifetime. It's caused me pretty dire file handling problems on 3 projects and only 2 of those had any Docker in them. Thanks for working on this.
I have an open bug against docker-compose (docker doesn't do the same thing by itself) where the wrong layers are being used, but only on virtualbox.
Hopefully this will solve that problem, as well as how to make my dev and prod database handling more homogenous. And I can finally turn sendfile back on in my nginx configs without having to special case anything for dev!

#157Re: Docker for Mac and Windows Beta
#158Tried to sign up, but the enroll form at https://beta.docker.com/form is blank for me - it just says "Great! We just need a little more info:" but has no forms.
yep same for me here. yes on chrome with js and adblock disabled
Has anyone actually gotten to download the thing? I just get a we'll be in touch.
Re: Docker for Mac and Windows Beta
#159Can someone explain in simple terms how Docker for Windows is different from Application Virtualization products like VMware ThinApp, Microsoft App-V, Spoon, Cameyo, etc? Also, why does it require Hyper-V activated in Windows 10? I found this: https://docs.docker.com/machine/overview/ but I don't understand if you need separate VMs for separate configurations or they have a containerization technology where you are a…
Docker uses LXC containers. In Linux, these aren't VMs and are light weight user-land separations that use things like cgroups and lots of really special kernel modules for security. Unfortunately, this means Docker only runs on Linux .. not even Linux...special Docker Kernel Linux (all the features they need are in the stock Kernel tree, but it's still a lot of modules). In Windows/Mac, you still need to run in a vi…
The glaring security hole in Docker is that it has not designed a solution for keeping secret data necessary to build an image from being in the image at run time.
They also haven't solved the general case of keeping transient build data out of the final image either, but that's a broader problem that doesn't necessarily involve security concerns.
For now not a lot of people are concerned about either problem so it's not getting the attention it deserves. But they've been steadily peppered with inquiries about these issues for a year or two now and they still don't have an answer, which is concerning. I believe this is one of the reasons the CoreOS guys wandered off to do their own thing.
Fortunately for us and unfortunately for them, they have the design aesthetics of the Marquis de Sade, and until they start giving even half a thought to ergonomics, Docker is perfectly safe.
Re: Docker for Mac and Windows Beta
#160Earlier quoted context omitted.
Does it mean no `VBox shares` mmap bug limiting the use of volumes in Cassandra and MongoDB containers?
Yes that should work fine with osxfs (the new filesystem engine). Do you have a pointer to the specific bug in vbox so we can add it to our test suite?
Here [1], under "WARNING (Windows & OS X)", there're several links to bug reports on VBox and Mongo trackers.
