You can combine it with Vagrant as well. I used to use Vagrant with Virtualbox, but using the Docker provider, the development is much faster. The config files we are using is public and open source: https://github.com/czettnersandor/vagrant-docker-lamp

However, if you don't have Linux, Vagrant can start a Virtualbox image with Linux and run Docker in it with a little modification in the Vagrantfile

How do you turn off the VM that is hosting the dockers? I.e. when none are running?

Btw, I found the vagrant documentation for the docker provider to be a bit lacking. I probably wasted a day getting it to work :(

If you're using Vagrant, you'll have to manually shut off the VM via `vagrant halt`.

If you're just trying to get started with Docker, Boot2Docker (https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker) is probably the way to go.

If you're looking for an Ubuntu-based Vagrant box, you can try out my Vagrant box (http://ferry.opencore.io/en/latest/install.html#os-x). It's based off of 14.04. Be warned though, my box is very large (~4GB) as it contains many pre-baked images (Hadoop, Cassandra, etc.).

Thanks. Where do I issue vagrant halt (i.e. which folder)? The workaround I found was to go virtualbox directly and issue a poweroff. Not clean at all :(
