Support for Docker for Mac/Windows

[marclennox]

I've been using the new Docker for Mac beta (https://blog.docker.com/2016/03/docker-for-mac-windows-beta/), which nicely packages the docker environment on OSX and Windows (VM, client, engine, etc.).

Based on what I'm seeing, this will very quickly be the preferred way to run Docker. That being said, there are 2 things which Dinghy provides which makes Docker development (on any platform) much better, that being the nginx proxy and dns server.

How difficult would it be to allow the dinghy CLI to specify which components to run, such that if you were running Docker for Mac, you could run the DNS and proxy portions only.

Yeah, the eventual plan is to deprecate Dinghy once Docker for Mac is more stable and performant. We're tracking that in #166

The HTTP proxy has already been split out into an independent project, I've got people using it on both Linux with native Docker and OS X with Docker for Mac. See the README https://github.com/codekitchen/dinghy-http-proxy#os-x

I probably won't ever adapt Dinghy itself to do that setup, but I may create a new script at some point to do it.

Thanks Brian.  I will try to use the proxy alone.  Thanks for all your work on dinghy!

dinghy-http-proxy works great with Docker for Mac, and because DFM exposes ports to the host, you don't need to know the VM IP, just use the linux instructions to run the proxy.

Oh good point, I'll add it to those README instructions. Thanks.

I've opened an issue in that project to track adding an installation script of some sort, so I'm going to close this. Thanks.
