Docker Toolbox: Federated Compose, Boot2docker, kitematic

With toolbox, desktop users can use Docker to combine a series of apps that run with containers, which is a long-standing pain point for users.

When using Docker, desktop users have been divided into separate sections: a streamlined Boot2docker Linux image for running Docker, Mac Tool Kitematic (acquired by Docker recently) and Docker Compose.

The next step for Docker is to condense all of these fragments into a single product: Toolbox.

Toolbox is not actually an isolated, Docker replacement product brand for individual parts. Instead, it provides a simplified way to get, install, and organize them without the user having to deal with them alone.

Based on the Docker team's presentation, Toolbox will not only help future developers launch Docker and run, but will also allow applications built using compose to work properly in a desktop development environment.

One of the features of Toolbox: The section contains Boot2docker. Originally, Docker VMs were managed using the Boot2docker command-line tool (which provides boot2docker mirroring), but is now managed directly by the machine. The VirtualBox virtual machine app is still used to start boot2docker.

Docker has dealt with the dependencies that have been made on boot2docker. Existing boot2docker are automatically migrated to the new toolbox, for example, as shown in.

Kitematic, formerly a standalone component, provides an open-source Docker GUI that launches lite Linux images in VirtualBox. The product did not change as much as the Docker takeover, and Docker reduced the workflow disruption on its first basis.

Docker may integrate more things into toolbox, based on kitematic,--make toolbox a one-stop, GUI-driven Docker desktop application. Docker still has a lot of room to add other tools-such as the Docker Compose UI, a Compose graphical interface.
