MacStand

A lightweight alternative for docker for mac.

Requires:

• Vagrant - https://www.vagrantup.com/
• Virtual Box - https://www.virtualbox.org/

Process:

1. Clone this repo.
2. cd into directory
3. Run vagrant up

Once done, run the following commands

1. vagrant ssh
2. sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
3. exit and you are ready to use docker on your mac!

Background

Since Docker for Mac uses a virtual machine. MacStand is a pre-set development environment that runs docker inside a Linux VirtualBox leveraging an NFS mount.

General Commands

• vagrant up - spins up the VirtualBox
• vagrant ssh - allows you to SSH into the VirtualBox. You will want to cd into the var/www/html this is directory that is mounted with your hosts. This is where you will run the DrupalStand commands.
• vagrant suspend - will stop your environment.

More information about vagrant commands can be found here - https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/

Other Notes

Sometimes when you start and restart vagrant you will need to run the docker start command in order to turn on docker.

For macOS 10.15 (Catalina) requires explicit paths for NFS Sync, for the time being you will need to add /System/Volumes/Data/Users/[USERNAME]/[PROJECT-PATH] to line 5 of the vagrant file.
