I have been constantly battling with getting docker started on my iMac. Up until now, the easiest way to get up and running with Docker has been by using Docker toolbox (previously boot2docker). Docker toolbox made it significantly easier to get setup with Docker compared to the earlier days on a Mac, but it was still significantly flawed. Once up and running, it mostly worked well, but getting Mac OS X to connect to my Docker / Docker Server was a constant battle. Most of the time running "$ docker env" would work but more often than not I would have had to mess around and delete the virtual box image and re-create a new virtual box instance and hope my local environment would connect. In the worst cases I have to completely delete docker and restart over with a fresh install.

Welcome to my blog, my first post
I can remember working for a production house where clients would want to set up a blog on their business websites. They had read that a blog can increases traffic to your website and increase you're Google presence. A blog is a great idea for businesses, it sounds great in practice - but only the dedicated ever wrote a regular post - the majority of businesses let there measly 3 or 4 posts go stale making there website look stale and uncared for. It came to a point where you would discourage customers from creating a blog as they don't foresee the dedication and work involved in keeping it up. What was supposed to be a positive marketing tool for their businesses quickly can become a liability. This isn't a business blog so I don't risk negative marketing and i'm going into this knowing the dedication involved - so with that, lets give it a shot!
