Docker for Mac Beta Review

Re:Docker for Mac Beta Review by partiallypro on Monday April 25, 2016 @11:32PM (#11569251)

I have Docker for Windows Beta, but when I've installed it on my Surface Pro 3, it immediately caused the device to get stuck in a BSOD loop. I think it has something to do with Hyper-V and connnected standby but I'm not 100% sure. Wasn't able to find an answer because it's so early on. I really want to get into Docker, but that bug has killed any possibility of me adopting it as of right now. I did install it on a desktop (which I lightly use) and it worked fine. With the new Windows 10 Insider build on that desktop though, Docker constantly is asking permission to run.

Anyhow, I really hope someone does a good overview of Docker for Windows beta, as well as the Ubuntu environment within Windows 10 now...Seems like OSX gets all of the dev love, so I'm wish and hoping for a really nice Windows overview. As I am currently having a hard time with both. Neither, as of right now, work well.

if you want a more technical review of the Windows beta, read this: http://docker-saigon.github.io/post/Docker-Beta/ But note that beta 8 was released a few days after that review and already introduced some changes. Also, for the Windows beta, it very much is still a beta.

I'm sorry for your laptop experience and glad you got it working on your desktop. There are good chances it is related to Hyper-V but would need more info to debug. Could you send us your logs to [email protected]? Docker for Windows still requires elevated privileges to start. This will be addressed in a couple of releases
