(NB: adapted from this Ask Ubuntu thread -- tested to work with Ubuntu 16 LTS branches and Ubuntu 17.10)
Unlike using VMWare Tools to enable Linux guest capabilities, the open-vm-tools package doesn't auto-mount shared VMWare folders. This can be frustrating in various ways, but there's an easy fix.
Install open-vm-tools and run:
sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o allow_other
This launchd script will ensure that your Docker environment on your Mac will have 10.254.254.254 as an alias on your loopback device (127.0.0.1). The command being run is ifconfig lo0 alias 10.254.254.254
Copy/Paste the following in terminal with sudo (must be root as the target directory is owned by root)...
sudo curl -o /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ralphschindler.docker_10254_alias.plist https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ralphschindler/535dc5916ccbd06f53c1b0ee5a868c93/raw/com.ralphschindler.docker_10254_alias.plist
