We're starting to look at Docker (and liking what we're seeing so far)..however :
My development environment is OSX + Vagrant + Vmware Fusion plugin, spinning up Ubuntu 14.04 LTS images. I'm reading https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/docker/basics.html Is it saying I can spin up a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS VMware image and host my docker container inside? Can I customize the host VM? how so? HOST VM On systems that can't run Linux containers natively, such as Mac OS X or Windows, Vagrant automatically spins up a "host VM" to run Docker. This allows your Docker-based Vagrant environments to remain portable, without inconsistencies depending on the platform they are running on. Vagrant will spin up a single instance of a host VM and run multiple containers on this one VM. This means that with the Docker provider, you only have the overhead of one virtual machine, and only if it is absolutely necessary. By default, the host VM Vagrant spins up is backed by boot2docker <https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/blob/master/plugins/providers/docker/hostmachine/Vagrantfile>, because it launches quickly and uses little resources. But the host VM can be customized to point to *any* Vagrantfile. This allows the host VM to more closely match production by running a VM running Ubuntu, RHEL, etc. It can run any operating system supported by Vagrant. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Vagrant" group.
