Docker Toolbox on OSX

Prerequisites

• HomeBrew

Requirements

$ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
$ brew cask install virtualbox
$ brew install docker docker-machine docker-compose docker-machine-nfs docker-clean

Init

The init process does the following stuff:

• Create a boot2docker ISO from Virtualbox, named for instance dev-nfs
• Change the shared filesystem to Network File System (NFS)
• Create a custom briged network named lamp-network
• Launch the Compose file with the linked containers

So in CLI you should type something like this:

$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox dev-nfs
$ docker-machine-nfs dev-nfs
$ docker network create --driver bridge lamp-network
$ cp docker-compose.yml.dist docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose -f /path/to/docker/docker-compose up -d

Why NFS ?

• OSX Network File System

Tweak

Since you have to add docker vars each time you load a shell, add this to your bashrc/zshrc/whateverrc:

DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME="dev-nfs"
if [[ `docker-machine status $DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME` == "Running" ]]; then
    eval $(docker-machine env $DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME)
fi

Then start a shell session Docker should return its vars:

env | grep DOCKER
