using vagrant for docker on mac

[ruebenramirez]

• [ ] standard docker project
• [ ] how does vagrant help run this on mac?
• spins up a lightweight linux environment to host the docker container
• builds the docker container on that linux vm docker host
• [ ] what does the workflow look like?

[ruebenramirez]

• [ ] are there benefits to this workflow over something like kitematic, or plain old boot2docker?

Sample Vagrantfile builds and then runs this container with these build/run arguments:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.provider "docker" do |d|
    d.build_dir = "."
    d.name = "myapp"
    d.create_args = ["-t"]
    d.expose = ["5004"]
    d.ports = ["8181:5004"]
  end
  config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 8181, host: 8181
end

this still doesn't appear to be forwarding the 8181 b2d port to the host machine. I tried http://127.0.0.1:8181 and http://localhost:8181, and neither are working yet
