How to share a folder with a docker container on OSX

Mounting shared folders between OSX and the docker container is tricky due to the intermediate boot2docker VM. You can't use the usual docker -v option as the docker server knows nothing about the OSX filesystem - it can only mount folders from the boot2docker filesystem. Fortunately, you can work around this using SSHFS.

Problem

We need to support multiple stockrecords per product.

Example stories:

• Customers in the UK use a stockrecord from a UK partner, customers from the US use a stockrecord from a US partner etc. We use IP lookup to determine which stockrecord is appropriate for a customer (this is the Meridian problem).
