boot2docker

Intro I can't figure out a good way to set up a development environment on OS X using Docker and Boot2Docker. The problem I'm hitting is how to manage the source code so that: I can modify the code on OS X using the tools (text editor, IDE, git, etc) I already have installed. Those modifications are reflected in the Docker container so if I re-run tests or refresh a webpage, I can see my changes immediately. In theory, this should be easy to do by mounting my source code as a volume: docker run -it -v /path/to/my/source/code:/src some-docker-image Unfortunately, this has two major issues that

I'm playing with boot2docker (docker 1.6) on windows 8.1. I wanted to make myself machine container to play with ruby and I want to be able to connect to rails server from my windows host. To start with small steps first I want to connect to my container from my boot2docker VM. I attach my docker file below, it builds without a problem and I can run a container from it. I do it like so: docker run -it -p 3000:3000 3564860f7afd /bin/bash Then in this container I say: cd ~/myapp && bundle exec rails server -d And to see if everything is working I do: ~/myapp$ sudo apt-get install wget && wget

I'm running boot2docker 1.3 on Win7. I want to connect a shared folder. In the VirtualBox Manager under the image properties->shared folders I've added the folder I've want and named it "c/shared". The "auto-mount" and "make permanent" boxes are checked. When boot2docker boots, it isn't mounted though. I have to do an additional: sudo mount -t vboxsf c/shared /c/shared for it to show up. Since I need that for every time I'll ever use docker, I'd like that to just run on boot, or just already be there. So I thought if there were some startup script I could add, but I can't seem to find where

I have make my code ready on Windows, but I find it's not easy to share to boot2docker. I also find that boot2docker can't persistent my changes. For example, I create a folder, /temp , after I restart boot2docker. This folder disappears, and it's very inconvenient. What is your way when you have some code on Windows, but you need to dockerize them? ---update--- I try to update the setting in VirtualBox and restart boot2docker, but it's not working on my machine. docker@boot2docker:/$ ls -al /c total 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60 Jun 17 05:42 ./ drwxrwxr-x 17 root root 400 Jun 17 05:42 ../ dr-xr

I have a service running in a docker container (local machine). I can see the service URL in the Ambari service config. Now I want to connect to that service using my local development environment. I found I can connect to that within the container but when I use that URL outside in my local I get connection refused.
