ankopainting :) thank you

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.

Id love to be fast tracked - most of the people at my current employer use macs for day to day work, so having a slick native use case would be a godsend! My ID is the same as my name here, karunamon. Thanks!

Same experience here, both on Mac and Windows. They've done a great job making it "just work". The user interface pieces are a bit raw -- perhaps "minimalist" or "unobtrusive" would put that in a better light! -- but clearly most of the work has gone into the lower level integration, where it shines. Docker for Mac/Windows, once released, will nuke the ick factor on those platforms from orbit, which can only lead to…

I hope there's going to be an easy way to package this with your own docker image in order to have a new way to distribute applications. My usecase is running a server locally so you can use a webapp with local network speed and offline access and lots of local storage.

Running an app in a Docker container in a Linux VM on a magic hypervisor sounds like a lot of work compared to something like Electron or NW.

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).

To be clear, Windows containers allow you to run containers that contain Windows executables under Windows. mwcampbell is talking about running containers that contain Linux executables on Windows.

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.

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`!…

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.
