Container Lab - Docker Client Mac Versions Of

It creates symlinks (symbolic links) in usrlocalbin for docker and docker-compose to the Mac versions of the commands in the application bundle.

First, check whether Docker Toolbox environment variables are set.

However, if you do get output (like in the example), you need to unset the Docker variables so the client can talk to the Docker for Mac Engine.

When you want to use a VirtualBox VM you have set up with docker-machine, simply run eval (docker-machine env default) (assuming you want to target the machine default).

The macOS Docker client talks to the Docker host VM, and your containers run on the host.

You cannot use localhost in this setting; instead, the containers ports map to the VMs ports.

If your VM has the IP address 10.0.0.5, access the ports like 10.0.0.5:8000 or 10.0.0.5:8376.

Container Lab - Docker Client Install Docker For

If you already have Docker Toolbox, and then you install Docker for Mac, you may get a newer version of the Docker client.

Running docker version in a command shell displays the version of the client and server you have on your system.
