vagrant-docker-box

This repo provides a basic setup for running a docker daemon on a hosted VM using vagrant + virtualbox.

⚠️   Doesn't work out of the box on macOS Big Sur with VBox v6.1.28. Symptoms are similar to the ones reported in this rejected bug report), so some adjustments are required obviously :warning:

How To Setup on macOS

Tested on an intel-based macbook pro running macOS Big Sur 11.6 and VirtualBox 6.1.26 r145957 (Qt5.6.3)

# install required tools
brew install vagrant
brew install --cask virtualbox
brew install docker

# start the vm
vagrant up

# export the daemon address (you may want to add it to your shell profile)
export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.50.2:2375

Customizing the VM

Create a file named .vm_config.json in the Vagrantfile directory and edit to your preferences.
