Just some observations from me. Looks interesting, but I'm already using docker on OSX, would like to try it out but don't want to run the installer and have it mess up my current boot2docker setup. If there was a version that had no installer, or could be configured to hit an existing docker server that would be nice. Bonus if it supported TLS, many of the docker tools barely support TLS currently.

Just as a note, Kitematic will update your boot2docker VM version to the latest 1.3.2 version. It will also update VirtualBox to 4.3.18 if the current version is lower than that.

The installer essentially runs: boot2docker upgrade boot2docker up

and then connects to it as a Docker client at `boot2docker ip`

A future plan is to allow Kitematic to be pointed at any Docker host, stay tuned :-)

Hi tigeba, the current version of Kitematic is fully compatible with the latest boot2docker. Unless there are custom changes made to the boot2docker VM.

Being able to attach an existing Docker server is definitely something we are looking at :)
