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

IMPORTANT: as suggested in another comment, please signup for the beta before responding.

Thank you all for investing your time in this thread, it is incredibly rewarding for the team to see their work appreciated and used by our fellow hackers. Constructive criticism with suggestions for improvement are the absolute best, thank you for those in particular.

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)

I am not sure if they conflict, there may be an issue with them both trying to use the same docker socket though, but you can probably just start one after you stop the other.

I'd love to try it out. I've been struggling with Docker ever since I moved from Linux to Mac. Especially with setting up dev environments for our projects. VirtualBox shared folders just don't cut it.

Until Dockrap (and its various predecessors and friends) are compatible with IT depts setting their VPN config to disallow local network access, fuck all that hipster stuff and use good old self-configured services. Hipster bullshit that can't be used in any org that remotely takes care of their network (hint: any big corporation will mandate this by contracts with huge liability figures in the contracts). To the use…

Bigco needs to get with it or get out of the way. Whenever a bloated, antiquated dinosaur is replaced by a newer, smarter company the sun shines a little brighter in my world.

I am using Docker for development and production (swarm). Since I am a Mac user it would be really great to try out the beta.

Hey! could you shoot an invite? We're fighting with Vagrant for our development environments and considering moving slowly into Dockerizing all the things to unify them with production deployment :)

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 cannot believe they are using `docker.local`. This hostname will cause nothing but trouble for years to come. 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 traf…

Pretty much every developer's workflow is already heavily disrupted by not having access to beta. I've spent days trying to get my filesystem notifications up with dlite and Dinghy (succeeded with the latter). So whatever you guys do, it's still better than what's currently available.

Keep up the awesome work!

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.

Huh, thats weird, I got a confirmation and everything... Oh well, signed up again.
