It looks like Kitematic uses VirtualBox, a VM.

Aside from the GUI, how does it differ from Boot2Docker, which is what the Docker web site tells you to use on a Mac?

- Automatically creates a folder under ~/Kitematic for each Volume. - One click NSEnter into any container. - Any container can be accessed at <container_name>.dev (automatically sets up a DNS for you, so you can connect a database too using that URL).

We're really just trying to make Docker easier to use for Mac right now.

Ok, thanks. Maybe list some of those on your web page or GitHub readme?

how about attaching volumes?

We do that. [Although primitive at the moment]

Hey, folders will be created under ~/Kitematic/app_name/volume_name, and the contents of the volume will be sync'ed across the folder and the container.
