- Docker Machine

docker-machine ls

docker-machine rm -f <specificNodeName>
docker-machine ssh <VMName>
# send commands to the docker daemon of the following vm:
eval $(docker-machine env <VMName>)
# in case some problems appear regarding certificates
docker-machine regenerate-certs <machineName>

# Open ports of docker-machine
# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36286305/how-do-i-forward-a-docker-machine-port-to-my-host-port-on-osx
docker-machine stop <VMname>
VBoxManage modifyvm "<vmname>" --natpf1 ",tcp,,80,,80"
docker-machine start <VMName>
eval $(docker-machine env <vmname>)

# List open ports: 
VBoxManage showvminfo "machine"


docker-machine ssh [machine-name] and tail -f /var/log/docker.log

____
NOTES: 

#In case of docker-machine mounts :
  • ./:/localVMPath - this will translate to the full host path C:/Users/Name/Projects:/localVMPath which is also available in the docker-machine VM (all of c:/)
  • Where are regular path is only open between localVM and container. not the host.
  

WINDOWS users notes: 
  • Use Git bash
  • Mount - enter only one of the machines and execute commands there, in order for mount to work on them.
