(I work for Docker on Docker for Mac) Our approach is to focus on functionality and correctness first, and then improve performance over time. We're building up a suite of performance benchmarks to help us track progress-- are there particular benchmarks that you would recommend we add? I'll certainly add "CPU load while idling" to the list.

I'm wondering how Docker for Mac handles conflicting entries in /etc/exports. This is currently still a problem when using dlite and vagrant on the same host[1]. [1] https://github.com/nlf/dlite/issues/176

It does not use /etc/exports. We do not change any generic OSX config.

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

Docker id: erkki

Goal is to figure out local-dev workflows (ruby/rails + go/misc) and replace a vagrant VM setup.

What is the use case though? What would be even better is if MS created a "windows container" that could run under Linux, then you could just ditch windows all together. I don't see big companies using something this hackish for containers that are running on servers anyway. For working on the desktop this might come in handy for devs, but honestly I think MS should focus their energy on something else.

I would use it for development. Running Linux on Windows without a VM would be a godsend. And no, Cygwin doesn't count.

It has been recently announced by Microsoft and Ubuntu and marketed as Ubuntu for Windows.

It's actually on a windows subsystem that can run linux ELF64 executables natively on windows:

I've noticed some pretty extreme performance penalties with Docker for Mac. Wherein VirtualBox would spin I'm going to guess it'll get better in time. It would be nice to get some insight into just what is burning CPU cycles. The experience besides that was really top notch IMO.

[I work on Docker for Mac] The early betas focussed on feature completeness rather than performance for filesystem sharing. In particular, we have implemented a new "osxfs" that implements bidirectional translation between Linux and OSX filesystems, including inotify/FSEvents and uid/guid mapping between the host and the container. Getting the semantics right took a while, and all the recent betas have been steadily…

Previously I had permission issues (Only root can write to host) when mounted a folder with OSX filesystem. Hope this would fix those issues. I'm talking about this issue https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/issues/581
