Really impressed and hooked! Another 15 minutes later, we had cloned the source code repo from GitHub, then a “npm install” and a “npm start” and WOW, we’re running our personal dev version! And we even were able to create our own Mac App with a “npm run release”. We were fascinated immediately about the simplicity and the seamless GUI, instantly installing Kitematic on a MacBookPro and it was running within 10 minutes only. We’ve just read the announcement on the Docker blog and were extremely impressed but also a little bit frustrated, it’s only meant to be used on a Mac running it’s own Boot2Docker VM through a newly created Docker Machine. And here comes Kitematic to the rescue - what a great timing. Kitematic to the RescueĮven the fact that our OS image works pretty much out of the box, and everybody can use Docker within minutes we’ve received a lot of feedback, whether we could build and deliver a graphical application to control Docker and deploying apps/containers with it. A GUI would be really cool, but this would take a long time to develop. But what about the normal end users? Wouldn’t it be great to have a more convenient way to use a graphical frontend via web or a specific app. It’s also not a problem to connect a Linux or Mac OS X host via a native Docker CLI over the network, even a Windows client works well. You can read more details and find the download links in our blog post Heavily ARMed after major upgrade: Raspberry Pi with Docker 1.5.0.Īs developers and geeks, we’re really comfortable using SSH and a bash shell to control the Docker CLI. Just download, extract, flash to a SD card and boot your Raspberry Pi - and within minutes you have Docker up and running and you can instantly start using it. A user can download this pre-compiled Raspbian based SD card image, which includes a Linux 3.18.8 kernel with all Docker related kernel options included, and Docker 1.5.0 is already enabled with Overlay filesystem. This is a guest post by Dieter Reuter, Senior Consultant at Hypriot.Īt Hypriot we recently built and released our own OS image to run the Docker Engine on a low-cost Raspberry Pi and labeled it HypriotOS.
