Kitemagic

This is a simple workaround to get Kitematic working on macOS without VirtualBox.

I tested it with Dinghy via Parallels Desktop. Just make sure your machine is called default.

It's a good solution until Kitematic#231 is resolved.

How it works

On macOS, if you're not using Docker for Mac, Kitematic checks for a VirtualBox installation.

This simply stubs VirtualBox to return the data that Kitematic expects, so it passes the setup stage and contiues to use Docker Machine as normal.

Installation

  1. Make sure VirtualBox is not installed ;)
  2. Ensure you have a Docker Machine running called default (docker-machine ls).
  3. Clone the repo or download kitemagic.sh.
  4. sh kitemagic.sh
  5. Open Kitematic.
