Does docker for mac use virtualbox

broken image

On a Mac there are, currently, two choices for hosting Docker containers.

I want to iterate through many edit-build-test cycles using that setup. I want to write code using Sublime Text 3 on my Mac, share that code with a Docker container using a data volume, and build and test the code in the container. My development system is a Mac, still running El Capitan (OS X 10.11). My main use case, currently, for Docker containers is to test code written to run on Linux servers. The use case for sharing local files with a Docker container See the GitHub repo for examples of the workaround. I have developed a workaround using rsync.

If you are using Docker Toolbox then you may have noticed that data volumes mapped to local directories on the Mac (using the -v option of the docker run command) do not see changes made to the local files.
