Installing Weave with Boot2Docker	default

Installing Weave with Boot2Docker

If you are running Docker inside the Boot2Docker VM, e.g. because you are on a Mac, then the following changes are required to the weave instructions. First, we need to get Boot2Docker running:

host1$ boot2docker init
host1$ boot2docker start
host1$ eval "$(boot2docker shellinit)"

Assuming you have fetched the 'weave' script via curl or similar, and it is in the current directory, launch weave on the Boot2Docker VM and configure our shell. Boot2Docker uses TLS, but weave will auto-detect that, and configure things appropriately.

host1$ weave launch
host1$ eval "$(weave env)"

Now, we can use the docker command to run our containers, as shown in the proxy documentation:

host1$ docker run -it ubuntu

For more information about how to access services running in Boot2Docker from the host or other machines (i.e. outside of the weave network), see these pages:
