As a Mac user, Docker comes in as boot2docker. I don’t quite like using that interface; I prefer having a simple Ubuntu VM on my Vagrant environment where I can manage my containers from a pre-installed Docker. I like this arrangement because it allows me to keep updated on Vagrant, which is more useful for various environments and providers: VirtualBox, VMware, Docker, and Hyper-V. I chose Jenkins for this example:
At the end of the line, I have a default Jenkins container running and publishing on port 8080. To be able to see it from my Mac browser, I need to forward ports from the Vagrantfile (8080 to 80) and then Nginx (80 to 8080):
http://localhost:8080 » ubuntu:80 » jenkins:8080

apt-get -y install docker nginx
