Anyone can share their experiences with Kitematic?
I tried it out last time it showed up here. IIRC everything was tied to the registry (couldn't use my own non published images) so I went back to just using boot2docker.

#42I'll just go ahead and take the downvotes for suggesting that people who want to use Linux-technology, like Docker, within their OS should just use Linux as their OS. Yeah. Call me crazy, but I honestly think that makes a whole lot of sense.
You're not running Linux, you are running _some version of Linux_.

And that's why I rent servers from digital ocean or linode. However, nobody has yet written http://selfcontrolapp.com/ for OS X but they have written xmonad (the thing that was keeping me on desktop Linux) for OSX. http://ianyh.com/amethyst/ And no, I can't write self-control on Linux for myself, because then circumventing it to read the news wouldn't require more patient thought than whatever I'm trying to focus on.…

You're using Docker Compose on Mac? I tried when it was still called Fig, and while it was wonderful for simplicity, the filesystem performance for VirtualBox/boot2docker made it brutal to use. My Rails apps in development mode (therefore serving up many individual assets) would take almost a minute to load each page. Has it gotten better, is there a trick you're using, or am I hitting an edge case you don't have?
>would take almost a minute to load each page VirtualBox filesystem performance isn't amazing, but it isn't anywhere near that bad. There was probably another issue involved here.

Why would I restrict myself to Linux if the tooling I prefer is only available on Mac? I guess if my entire workflow was terminal based then Linux would make sense but I'm more productive with Intellij, Kaleidoscope, Tower Git, iTerm, and my iTunes library of music. A vm running centOs and using docker let's me use my favorite tools and still leverage Linux as a deployment environment, how does that not make sense?
IntelliJ, Git, and music-listening developr here. On GNU/Linux.
It does not make sense because you stop yourself from knowin the inner workings of what you are targeting in your development efforts - eat your own poison so to say - CentOS - run CentOS. How hard can that be?

Tried starting a redis container, got this: 500 server error - No command specified
Hi there (I'm a Kitematic maintainer) - sorry you received an error. Was this from trying the official redis repo, or a different one?

Then run Mac in a VM on Linux. IntelliJ, Git, and music-listening developr here. On GNU/Linux.

Do you want people to go talk about it on the other thread instead of this one? Or, are you trying to keep duplicate posts or comments off of HN? Or, something else?
