The Apple Mac users in the Weave team were excited to see the recent release of the beta version of Docker for Mac and to try out the new xhyve based container host. With a few tiny tweaks to your Mac, you can connect with Docker containers running on Weave Net and Docker for Mac, without exposing ports on the Docker host – which is great for testing and debugging during application development. Debugging and testing containerized applications from a Mac can be fiddly, (because you’re running containers inside a Host, which itself is running inside the OS), especially if you have multiple containers using the same port or if a second port is assigned to a value not known before a process starts (JMX, I’m looking at you).
