Docker El Capitan

Posted on by admin

I am using Docker for Mac and wish to create Docker image running a Mac El Capitan with my development env. I am not finding any resources on this. All I see is Linux installations. On Linux I saw things as simple as: FROM sciensa2/docker-java8 RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install -y wget unzip libgtk2.0-0:amd64 libxtst6.

  • The next issue I had to deal with was the fact that, while El Capitan is the newest version of macOS that will run on a 2008 MacBook, it is still from 2015. Being fully signed, it will fail to install in 2020 because the certificate used to sign the packages has since expired!

Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers. Docker CE(Community Edition) for Mac is an easy-to-install desktop app for building, debugging, and testing Dockerized apps on a Mac.

Docker Desktop For Mac El Capitan

1. system requirement

Docker for Mac works on OS X El Capitan 10.11 and newer macOS releases.

2. download Docker installation package

The stable Docker image for Mac can be downloaded with link.

3. install

Double-click Docker.dmg in your download folder, and follow the installation process.

After the installation is completed, goto Launchpad and start Docker by clicking the icon. After that, the whale in the top status bar shows that Docker is running, and accessible from a terminal.

4. test and run

Docker El CapitanDocker el capitan update

Open a terminal, and try out some Docker commands to make sure it’s properly installed.

  • Run docker version to check that you have the latest release installed.

  • Run docker run hello-world to verify that Docker is pulling images and running as expected.

Docker El Capitan Update

Docker is a tool that makes containers: local environments in which you can run certain versions of software (I haven’t explained this very well). This means that you can, for example, set up a local webserver with the specific versions of PHP, Apache and MySQL that your app or site depends on. I went to a Bristol PHP Training session on Docker a couple of weeks ago, and Nigel took us through all the basic possibilities.

One problem is that I am stuck on OS X 10.11 El Capitan, with which Docker for Mac isn’t compatible, and I couldn’t use the Docker Toolbox installer. Instead I had to follow this article to install Docker on Mac OS X 10.11.

Docker El Capitan Download

I used VirtualBox to create a new Docker virtual machine, devbox.

Install Docker El Capitan

Now, when I need to use Docker, I run:

This enters the virtual machine. The key difference with using Docker as a virtual machine is that, where you would use localhost to access your sites, you need to use the virtual machine’s IP address. This can be found using:

Docker El Capitan Software

So far I’ve managed to set up the Wagtail Bakery demo using Docker, and a PHP 5.6 server to run an outdated site that I need to refactor. These are all things that I wouldn’t have had a clue how to do a few months ago, so thanks Nigel, and thanks Docker!
