Today we’re announcing a new installer for Mac OS X and Windows called. We’ve been hearing again and again that it can be difficult to get up and started with Docker in development, particularly when you’ve got your app defined with Compose and then have to install Compose separately. With the popularity of Compose, Kitematic and Boot2Docker, we realized we needed to make all the pieces work better together. Installs everything you need to get Docker running in development: the Docker client, Compose (Mac only), Kitematic, Machine, and VirtualBox. Uses Machine and VirtualBox to create an Engine in a VM to run your containers. On top of that VM, you can then use the Docker client, Compose and Kitematic to run containers. Outlook for mac 2016 scheduling assistant. Does this replace Boot2Docker?

Yes, is now the recommended way to get started with Docker. Although the Boot2Docker installer has been quite popular, has been designed to include the the growing set of Docker developer tools like Kitematic, Machine, Swarm, and Compose. Boot2Docker also installed a command-line tool called boot2docker which was used to manage the Docker VM. In Toolbox this has been replaced with Machine.

The boot2docker CLI tool is long-since officially deprecated in favor of Docker Machine. On the other hand, the boot2docker distribution (as in. It is highly recommended that users transition from Boot2Docker over to Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows instead.

However under the hood, Machine still uses the to run your containers. The difference is that the containers are now managed by Machine instead of the boot2docker command-line tool. If you are currently using the official Boot2Docker ( boot2docker-vm), will prompt you to automatically migrate to the new default VM using Docker Machine. If you prefer to manually migrate your Boot2Docker VM, please check out. We are very excited to have you try Docker Toolbox and give us feedback!

[] Docker Toolbox – Toolbox is an installer that simplifies the setup of Docker on developers’ laptops and PCs with versions for Windows, Macs, and Linux. Previously, Docker offered a tool called Boot2Docker which often required a lot of troubleshooting to make it work correctly. I personally could never get Boot2Docker to work correctly on my laptop.
