## What it is
A shell script that installs and manages Docker on OS X via a Vagrant/VirtualBox virtual machine, acting as both installer and VM manager. It is explicitly deprecated in favor of the official Docker for Mac.

## Use cases
- install docker on mac
- run docker daemon in a vm on os x
- manage a vagrant vm for docker
- set up docker client environment on mac

## When to avoid
- any modern macOS setup - use official Docker for Mac instead
- you want maintained or supported tooling
