Hi,

I just saw that there is the public beta available for Docker. I did not try it, but will habitat also work on the mac with the native docker implementation instead of the toolbox?

Regards,

Cyrill

Hello -

Yes, Docker Beta + Habitat seem to work fine together, minus some glitches here and there that should be expected with beta software.

Cheers -  
Dave
