Description

some annoying things about boot2docker that users shouldn't have to know about to use docker-stream

  • you have to run boot2docker up and then run docker with DOCKER_URL env variable set to the boot2docker ip (this issue is already mostly handled by docker-stream)
  • if you want to expose a port from inside the container you have to do this arcane command first (while boot2docker is down): VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "guestnginx,tcp,,4000,,4000"
  • you can't currently do -v to mount volumes from local host into the container when using the docker remote protocol (which is what docker uses when using DOCKER_URL).
  • boot2docker seems to drop the internet connection which you switch between wifis / your computer goes to sleep

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by examining how docker-stream handles boot2docker and the DOCKER_URL environment variable, then investigate the listed port forwarding, volume mounting, and network reconnection cases. Done means users no longer need these boot2docker-specific workarounds when using docker-stream.
