A shell script CLI tool that sets up a productive Docker development environment on OS X by using rsync to sync source folders into containers, working around slow vboxsf mounts and broken file watching. It automates installing Docker, Boot2Docker, and related dependencies.
Use cases
- speed up docker volume mounts on mac
- fix file watching inotify in docker containers on osx
- set up docker development environment on mac
- avoid slow vboxsf shared folders in virtualbox
- sync source code into docker containers with rsync
- iterative development with docker on os x
When to choose
- legacy Boot2Docker/VirtualBox setups on OS X with slow mounted volumes and broken file watching
When to avoid
- you use modern Docker for Mac, which has fixed volume performance and file watching
- you need an actively maintained tool
- you are on Linux or Windows
