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.

Yes pllllz. Docker ID: jonnev

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 indeed moving away from `docker.local` in Docker for Mac. There have actually been two networking modes in there since the early betas: the first one uses the OSX vmnet framework to give your container a bridged DHCP lease ('nat' mode), and the second one dynamically translates Linux container traffic into OSX socket calls ('hostnet' or VPN compatibility mode).

Try to give hostnet mode a try by selecting "VPN compatibility" from the UI. This will bind containers to `localhost` on your Mac instead of `docker.local` and also let you publish your ports to the external network. One of our design goals has been to run Docker for Mac as sandboxed as possible, and so we cannot just modify the /etc/resolv.conf to introduce new system domains such as ".dev".

We've been iterating on the networking modes in the early betas to get this right, so beta9 should hopefully strike a good balance with its defaults. It's also why we've been holding a private beta, so that we can make these kinds of changes without disrupting huge numbers of users' workflows. Your feedback as we figure it out is very much appreciated!

I have been really interested in giving Docker for Mac a go for a personal, open source project. lauritzsh. Thanks!

Would be awesome to be on the Beta. We're currently migrating a lot of Atlassian related stuff to Docker.

A minor addition: to use 'localhost' in beta 8 you may need to also run the internal debug command:

  pinata set native/port-forwarding true
In previous betas this setting was implied by "VPN compatibility" mode, but in beta 8 it was made an independent setting.

In beta 9 using localhost will be the default -- as avsm says we've been iterating on the network configuration trying to find the most compatible / least surprising defaults. Hopefully after beta 9 it will be stable on "localhost".
