Note: it might seem strange to run sudo docker-osx shell
, but it was the only way to get docker-osx to download the docker binary (because that also goes in /usr/local/bin
).
Hey @aanand any update on this since you last posted? My group is having a "fun" discussion on this exact thing. Seems like brew install docker
without having to sudo anything would be the bees knees.
No, haven't revisited it. Would be a fairly simple PR though.
Looking back, it might be smart to revise point number 2 - instead of putting it in the documentation, simply have docker-osx check /usr/local/bin
for writability and exit with a helpful message if it isn't.
However, this is all moot if boot2docker solves the volumes problem, at which point docker-osx can be deprecated entirely.
Your are right one of our target is to deprecate docker-osx in favor of boot2docker i think it will be more easy due to the fact @bfirsh is now a part of docker team.
I had a fun time trying to set a friend up with docker-osx yesterday: their
/usr/local/bin
directory was owned by root, so we ransudo curl ...
andsudo docker-osx shell
. This resulted in docker-osx hanging during VM provisioning. Not 100% sure why, butdocker-osx ssh
complained about key file ownership, which may well be to do with it.To make matters worse, attempting to stop and remove the VM failed silently, so even after a
chown ... /usr/local/bin
, and a do-over, things continued to behave oddly. We had to open up VirtualBox and remove it with the GUI.Three takeaways from this:
