Trying to install it June 2107 using homebrew on a Mac, and it seems to have fallen out of maintenance… Once the application is up and running, you can search for images or templates: Panamax.io is a browser rendered graphical environment for pulling together image compositions, although it currently needs to be started from the command line. Where a mount point is defined to allow sharing between the container and the host, you can simply select the desktop folder you want to mount into the container.Īt the moment, Kitematic doesn’t seem to support docker-compose in a graphical way, or allow users to deploy containers to a remote host. Simply locate an image on the public docker hub, download it and fire up an associated container. I’ve blogged about Kitematic several times, but to briefly summarise: Kitematic allows you to launch and configure individual containers as well as providing easy access to a boot2docker command line (which can be used to run docker-compose scripts, for example). Kitematic is a desktop app (Mac and Windows) that makes it one-click easy to download images from docker hub and run associated containers within a local docker VM (currently running via boot2docker?). There are some GUI tools aimed at devops folk to help with monitoring clusters and running containers, but that’s out of scope for me at the moment… 1. I chose the following apps because they are directed more at the end user – launching prebuilt apps, an putting together simple app compositions. ![]() The command line is probably something of a blocker to users who expect GUI tools, such as a one-click graphical installer, or double click to start an app, so I had a quick scout round for graphical user interfaces in and around the docker ecosystem. From playing with docker over the last few weeks, I think it’s worth pursuing as a technology for deploying educational software to online and distance education students, not least because it offers the possibility of using containers as app runners than can run an app on your own desktop, or via the cloud.
