I don't understand why Docker for Mac is a GUI application. I'd rather get the same features from the CLI.

- KenCochrane 10y agoYou can still use the CLI, there is nothing stopping you.
- pgz 10y agoSo I assume the new native hypervisor is available from cli as well? Then that's excellent!
- ryanschneider 10y agoYea, the GUI is just there to manage updates and to let you know it's up and running, you use the actual docker CLI commands for everything just like on Linux. The hypervisor is completely abstracted away. For example, here's the output of me running `docker info`: Kernel Version: 4.4.13-moby Operating System: Alpine Linux v3.4 OSType: linux Architecture: x86_64 CPUs: 2 Total Memory: 1.954 GiB
- KenCochrane 10y agoYup, try it out, and let us know if you have any issues, or ideas on how to make it better.
- DanielDent 10y agoCan it fall back to Virtualbox/vmware/parallels/etc if Hypervisor.framework isn't available? Hypervisor.framework doesn't run on somewhat dated x86 machines.
- moondev 10y agoNot that i'm aware of, but using the hypervisor is pretty much the entire point. If you need to use vbox etc then just use docker-machine
- _asummers 10y agoApologies for hijacking this comment, but I've been unable to find the beta bug report email/form. Do you happen to have that handy?

- moondev 10y agoYou should try it. The toolbar is just there to see the status of the daemon and adjust vm settings. You still use the cli to use docker just like on linux.
