Running Docker QuickStart Terminal does nothing. Yes it does open a shell in iTerm but doesn’t run the startup sh script. No output or messages.
Do you have any customizations like an alternate default shell?
The quickstart terminal only does a couple things for you and is a completely optional component.
Here’s a workflow that is more of a regular “docker-machine” workflow, which the quickstart terminal uses.
Open a regular terminal, and run this:
docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-memory 2048 --virtualbox-disk-size 204800 default
Once that completes, you have a virtualbox VM running docker. To access it, run the following:
eval $(docker-machine env default)
Once that is done, you can run docker commands.
You will need to run that in each terminal session that you’d like to utilize that docker-machine VM on, so some folks end up putting something like this into their .bashrc:
eval $(docker-machine env default)
This will fail if the machine isn’t running, so you could also do something like this:
(docker-machine env default 2>&1 || docker-machine start default) && eval $(docker-machine env default)
Personally, I work with a number of machines provisioned via docker-machine, so I leave this completely out of my .bashrc and manually run the command when I want to switch which host I am working with.
Hey thanks for the reply
