Docker Machine support

boot2docker has been deprecated in favour of Docker Machine

Can you link to a source on this? We weren't aware of that.

I'm not familiar with Docker Machine, or know what it would take to get the wrapper script working in such a setup, but we can certainly look into it.

Does using docker run directly as the error message suggests work for your setup?

You can check here for example options. You'll probably need to adjust them since you don't have a /var/run/docker.sock.

Docker run works fine but is a bit cumbersome.

By deprecated I mean the CLI is deprecated and Docker Machine will be taking over that responsibility. Docker Machine is still using the same boot2docker ISO though at this stage.

https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker-cli readme indicates the deprecation.

As a workaround, you could edit the installed wrapper script to execute the docker run command you need. If you'd like some help with that, please post a docker run invocation that works and I can suggest the edits you'd have to make to get that working. Seeing that example command might actually help us in adding real Docker Machine support too.

FWIW: there is a bit of a contradiction here as the Docker Machine page linked from that one states:

Note: Machine is currently in beta, so things are likely to change. We don’t recommend you use it in production yet.

In any event, thank you for the report. We do want to support as many use cases as possible and will absolutely support Docker Machine if that is the recommended way to run Docker containers on OS X (which it looks like it is, or is very close to being). I'll report back when we're able to prioritize this work and have a better idea on timeline.

This should be working now that we have merged #100!
