kitematic, OSX and vmware fusion


!before you start you might want to make sure you backup existing docker images / containers! 

  1. open Kitematic (cmd-space, kite, enter)
  2. open the docker cli by clicking button left bottom corner ("DOCKER CLI)"
  3. in the opened terminal run command:

    #docker-machine ls

    I had 2 lines with names "dev" and "default"

  4. remove machines by running commands:

    #docker-machine rm dev
    #docker-machine rm default


  5. then I created a new default for using vmware fusion:

    #docker-machine create dev -d vmwarefusion

Now restart kitematic, now kitematic should use vmware for the boot2docker instance.
