[Msys2-users] docker.io in msys2 howto

[Jonathan B. <jon...@gm...>]

Hello everybody,
when this here is not the right please for it, then sorry! I found out 
that it is relative easy to run dockers in msys2, so I wanna share this 
with you.

What you need is:
*msys2 64bit**
**Virtualbox**
**boot2docker-cli*

When you have the first both installed you need to download the 
boot2docker-v1.5.0-windows-amd64.exe from:
https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker-cli/releases/

After the download place it to somewhere where the msys2 shell will find 
it. for example under:
*/usr/bin*
and rename it to:
*boot2docker.exe*

Put the installation folder from virtualbox to the path environment. I 
use my one profile file, so by me it looks different, you need to adapt 
it to your profile:
[...]
VBox="/D/_System/Programme/VirtualBox"
PATH=".[...]:${VBox}"
[...]

In a msys2 shell run: *pacman -S openssh* to install the ssh client.
Then run *boot2docker init, *it will setup the vm for you. After that 
run *boot2docker start.

*
Now is a bit bad, because normally we can join the docker vm with 
*boot2docker ssh. *But like this the ssh connection will close after 
some seconds. So we get the ip with *boot2docker ip *and login manual 
with ssh docker@IP-Adress for example *ssh docker@192.168.59.104***the 
password is*tcuser.
*
Docker init will build normally also a ssh key so we don't need the 
password, but I don't know at the moment how to use keys in msys2, 
because ssh-add works not by me.

In docker we can run now a linux image for example like:

*docker run -it ubuntu:14.04 bash*

Maybe it download first the ubuntu image, then it login in ubuntu. And 
there you can run the normal commends what you now from ubuntu :).

Have fun with it!

Regards
Jonathan
