Machine Management
- A graphical picker chooses a provider
- DriverSetupStore sets up provider
- Set up info (tokens, endpoints, creds, etc.) pulled from settings (interactive?)
- (Provider verification?)
- VM creation and setup (from Machine)
- VirtualBox
- VMWare Fusion (AppCatalyst?)
- Parallels Desktop for Mac
- Stuck at 99% ( https://github.com/kitematic/kitematic/issues/236 ), here it seems like we need better error reporting.
- VPN connection issue ( https://github.com/kitematic/kitematic/issues/254 )
- Proxy issue ( https://github.com/docker/machine/issues/1319 )
- Proposal: https://github.com/kitematic/kitematic/issues/777

XHyve (
On hold until kernel panic with vbox installed is fixed. Possibly fixed in vbox 5.x) -
Hyper-V
-
Working best out of the box (Mac, Windows), backwards compatibility
-
Cloud Providers
-
Choose one that is well-supported, easy to integrate (Digital Ocean)
-
Choose specific Docker Machine parameters for each provider
-
Custom-built experience for each provider, but share the same UI + Look & Feel
-
Add arbitrary key-value parameters
-
Explore other out-of-the-box providers like Xhyve, Hyper-V
-
Advanced section with custom flags read from CLI
-
Default flags from machine
-
Allow
tls-sanargument during machine creation -
Docker Machine CLI bindings in Javascript
-
Custom install flow for each provider
-
Machine management in settings panel. Possibly page for machine management (like the Log In page today), or even.
-
Kitematic runs without VBox installed, setup delegated to machine management.
