Run buildbot with Docker on Macos

$> docker-machine create --driver virtualbox <your-machine-name>
$> docker-machine ls

OUTPUT:

NAME                  ACTIVE   DRIVER       STATE     URL                         SWARM   DOCKER        ERRORS
<your-machine-name>   -        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.100:2376           v17.06.0-ce   
default               -        virtualbox   Error                                         Unknown       machine does not exist

$> docker ps 

this command give a error Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host? because your default machine is not working.you should set default machine to new created machine

$> eval $(docker-machine env <your-machine-name>)
$> docker-machine ls

OUTPUT:

NAME                  ACTIVE   DRIVER       STATE     URL                         SWARM   DOCKER        ERRORS
<your-machine-name>   *        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.100:2376           v17.06.0-ce   
default               -        virtualbox   Error                                         Unknown       machine does not exist

your machine is active and default, anymore you can connect this machine default.

Now, we look buildbot docs Buildbot Docker running

install docker-compose

$> pip install docker-compose

# clone the example repository
$> git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot-docker-example-config

# Build the Buildbot container (it will take a few minutes to download packages)
$> cd buildbot-docker-example-config/simple
$> docker-compose up

if docker-compose up command give an error like this

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/docker-compose", line 7, in <module>
    from compose.cli.main import main
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/compose/cli/main.py", line 20, in <module>
    from ..bundle import get_image_digests
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/compose/bundle.py", line 14, in <module>
    from .service import format_environment
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/compose/service.py", line 42, in <module>
    from .parallel import parallel_execute
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/compose/parallel.py", line 11, in <module>
    from six.moves import _thread as thread
ImportError: cannot import name _thread

you can fix this error with above command

sudo pip install --ignore-installed six  

OR

sudo -H pip install --ignore-installed six

now try same command docker-compose up
