Docker For Mac Old Versions

Docker For Mac Old Versions

admin

Jul 25, 2017  To install Docker in most ways on Linux machine is possible by simple way. “How To Install specific Docker version on Linux Machine.” is published by Gaurav Joshi. GitHub is home to over 40 million developers working together to host and review code, manage projects, and build software together. One of my containers started to behave differently, I would like to install an earlier release Docker for Mac 1.13. I've escalated this as a request.

Estimated reading time: 21 minutes

Here are the main improvements and issues per stable release, starting with thecurrent release. The documentation is updated for each release.

For system requirements, seeWhat to know before you install.

Release notes for stable releases are listed below, edge releasenotes are also available. (Following the CE release model,‘beta’ releases are called ‘edge’ releases.) You can learn about both kinds ofreleases, and download stable and edge product installers at Download DockerDesktop for Mac.

  • Bug fixes and minor changes
    • AUFS storage driver is deprecated in Docker Desktop and AUFS support will be removed in the next major release.

This improves disk throughput (from 320MiB/sec to 600MiB/sec in dd on a 2015 MacBook Pro) and disk space handling.Existing disks are kept in qcow format, if you want to switch to raw format you need to “Remove all data” or “Reset to factory defaults”. See https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/faqs/#disk-usage
    • DNS name docker.for.mac.host.internal should be used instead of docker.for.mac.localhost (still valid) for host resolution from containers, since since there is an RFC banning the use of subdomains of localhost. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-let-localhost-be-localhost-06.
  • Bug fixes and minor changes

Docker Desktop for Mac, stable, release notes

Docker for Mac offers a Mac native application that installs in /Applications. It creates symlinks (symbolic links) in /usr/local/bin for docker and docker-compose to the Mac versions of the commands in the application bundle.

The Docker for Mac bundle installs:

  1. Docker Engine
  2. Docker CLI Client
  3. Docker Compose
  4. Docker Machine

Are you already running Docker Toolbox and/or Docker Machine?

If so, you need to do a little more work. First, check whether Docker Toolbox environment variables are set:

If you don’t get output, you can go ahead and use Docker for Mac. However, if you do get output (like in the example), you need to unset the Docker variables so the client can talk to the Docker for Mac Engine. Run:

If you use Bash, you can use unset ${!DOCKER_*} to unset all of the Docker environment variables (this does not work in other shells, like zsh or csh).

When you run env grep DOCKER now, you should see no output.

Running Docker Toolbox and Docker for Mac on the same host

You can run both Docker Toolbox and Docker for Mac on the same system, but not at the same time.

When you use Docker for Mac, you need to unset all of your environment variables, using one of the methods above. When you want to use a VirtualBox VM you have set up with docker-machine, simply run eval $(docker-machine env default) (assuming you want to target the machine “default”).

Docker Machine

Docker for Mac does not affect previous machines created via Docker Machine, The installation gives you the option to copy containers and images from your local default machine if you have one.

Requirements

You must have a Mac:

  1. 2010 or newer, with Intel’s hardware Memory Management Unit (MMU).
  2. OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite or newer (or macOS).
  3. At least 4 GB of RAM.
  4. You must not have a VirtualBox installation earlier than version 4.3.30 on your system. If you do, you’ll need to uninstall it.

Before You Install

Take a few minutes to understand some key concepts before you install Docker.

On an “out-of-the-box” Linux installation, the Docker client, daemon, and all containers run directly on localhost, meaning you can access ports on a Docker container using localhost addressing; something like localhost:8080 or 0.0.0.0:8376.

On macOS, Docker’s daemon runs inside a Linux VM. The macOS Docker client talks to the Docker host VM, and your containers run on the host. You cannot use localhost in this setting; instead, the container’s ports map to the VM’s ports. If your VM has the IP address 10.0.0.5, access the ports like 10.0.0.5:8000 or 10.0.0.5:8376.

Installation

  1. Download Docker.
  2. Double-click the DMG file, and drag-and-drop Docker into your Applications folder.
  3. You need to authorize the installation with your system password.
  4. Double-click Docker.app to start Docker.
  5. The whale in your status bar indicates Docker is running and accessible.
  6. Docker presents some information on completing common tasks and links to the documentation.
  7. You can access settings and other options from the whale in the status bar. a. Select About Docker to make sure you have the latest version.

That’s it!

Verification

Check versions of Docker Engine, Compose, and Machine.

Run a Dockerized web server to make sure everything works: Enterprise vault ecs.

If you do not have the image locally, Docker pulls it from Docker Hub (more on this later). Visit http://localhost to bring up your new homepage; you should see:

Welcome to nginx!

If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.

For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org.Commercial support is available at nginx.com.

Thank you for using nginx.

Common Pitfalls

Operating System

Unfortunately, if you do not run “Mountain Lion” or later, you cannot run Docker for Mac. You can upgrade your OS to the most recent viable version, provided your system supports it.

Shell Scripts

If you use a shell script to set the Docker environment variables every time you open a command window (Terminal), you need to unset the variables every time you use Docker for Mac (alternately, you can write a shell script to follow behind and unset the variables).

Multiple Docker Versions

Docker for Mac replaces docker and docker-compose with its own versions; if you already have Docker Toolbox on your Mac, Docker for Mac still replaces the binaries. You want the Docker client and Engine to match versions; mismatches can cause problems where the client and host cannot communicate. If you already have Docker Toolbox, and then you install Docker for Mac, you may get a newer version of the Docker client. Running docker version in a command shell displays the version of the client and server you have on your system.

This may also happen if you use Docker Universal Control Plane (UCP).

If you want to support both Docker Toolbox and Docker for Mac, check out the Docker Version Manager (DVM).
