# Docker in Vagrant Ubuntu VM
### Prereqs:
- `virtualbox`
- `virtualbox-extension-pack`
- `vagrant`
- `vagrant-vbguest`
### Features
#### Folder share
By default, docker mounts will work within `$HOME/workspace` folder,
but feel free to adjust this to your needs.
Use `vagrant reload` to apply new configuration - beware this will
reboot your VM with all the containers running on it
#### Port forwaring
If you mount any ports on docker host to container, you can reach them
from actual VM host by editiling [Vagrant](https://github.com/toshke/vagrant-ubuntu-docker/blob/main/Vagrantfile#L14) file ports array.
Use `vagrant reload` to apply new configuration - beware this will
reboot your VM with all the containers running on it
### Run
- Clone the repo
```
git clone https://github.com/toshke/vagrant-ubuntu-docker.git && cd vagrant-ubuntu-docker
```
- To create and run the VM
```
make provision
```
- To connect to Docker from the host
```
eval $(make env) && docker info
```
## Why?
Docker desktop application for MacOS seems to be taking
2 full cores on my mac, all of the time. It's not `hyperkit`
issues it's actual `Docker` app that is having 100% cpu
usage
## Alternatives
Running docker via `minikube` as suggested by this [post](https://dhwaneetbhatt.com/blog/run-docker-without-docker-desktop-on-macos) yielded veeery poor
disk perfromance for myself. E.g. running `du -h -d1` within
average `node_modules` folders took > 10 secs. On `VMBox/Ubuntu` mounted
option, this works with sub-second performance.
While aforemntioned post suggests against 3 layer drive mapping,
this works just fine for myself, and in competition of
3 (Docker 4 desktop, Minikube, Vagrant provisioned VM) works the best.
## Potential issues
VBox may complain if `192.168.56.2` ip is already reserved
by another network iface on your computer. Just edit [Vagrantfile#4](https://github.com/toshke/vagrant-ubuntu-docker/blob/main/Vagrantfile#L4) to apply available IP
