specify ip address for docker for mac

Question

I\'m using Docker for Mac Beta and it runs from spotlight.

Is there any way to run it from console or force to use any configuration file to specify ip

Answer 1

You can connect to the Docker alpine host via unix socket but I have not been able to figure out how to bridge to the network.

The docs say:

Unfortunately, due to limtations in OSX, we’re unable to route traffic to containers, and from containers back to the host.

Because of the way networking is implemented in Docker for Mac, you cannot see a docker0 interface in OSX. This interface is actually within HyperKit.
