Docker on Mac: Steps

Installing your first Environment

Let's assume that you're starting with a Dockerfile - and the bravery to start.

Mac/Windows requires that Docker runs from a VM (:cry:), so the best approach is using Docker Toolbox.

1. Install Docker Toolbox (download it, then click next till the end of the world);
2. docker-machine create --driver virtualbox AWESOME_VM to create a new environment. You can name it the way you like 😉.
3. PROFIT!

docker-machine ls to list your VMs. You can have as many VMs as you wish and switch from one. AWESOME!

Engines On/Off

In order to start your VM, use these wise tips:

• docker-machine stop AWESOME_VM to start;
• docker-machine start AWESOME_VM to shut it down;
• docker-machine rm AWESOME_VM to destroy it .

Enter the Matrix

• docker-machine ssh AWESOME_VM

Build it!

1. Navigate to /Users/path/to/your/Dockerfile;
2. docker build -t AWESOME_IMAGE .

Make it run!

• Once the Docker is properly builded, run docker run -i -t -p 80:80 -p 443:443 AWESOME_IMAGE /bin/bash to access the image and start the fun.
