Mac Instructions

Install and run "Docker for Mac"

Follow the instructions at https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/

Start a terminal

You can start the default terminal by hitting 'Command–Space bar' and then typing terminal.

Create the volume

In the terminal that appears type the following command to create a volume.

docker volume create --name myvolume
docker run -it --rm -v myvolume:/workdir busybox chown -R 1000:1000 /workdir

Create and run a samba container

• This container is what will allow you to see the files in the volume.

docker create -t -p 445:445 --name samba -v myvolume:/workdir crops/samba

• Start the samba container

docker start samba

• Create an alias for 127.0.0.1

OSX will not let you connect to a locally running samba share. Therefore, create an alias for 127.0.0.1 of 127.0.0.2.

sudo ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.2 alias up

Since you will always need to have the alias to connect to the samba container, you could also combine the start of samba and alias like so:

docker start samba && sudo ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.2 alias up

• Open the workdir in the file browser

Open Finder, then hit 'Command-K'. In the "Server Address" box type smb://127.0.0.2/workdir and click "Connect".

Start a container to do work.

You can now use any of the other containers such as the poky container. The important part to remember is that the volume created above, is the one to use when specifying the workdir. For example, to run the poky container:

docker run --rm -it -v myvolume:/workdir crops/poky --workdir=/workdir
