Kitematic v0.4 (opens in new tab)

Hi kaylarose. Really sorry about the app being buggy and thank you for understanding that we're still very new. Previous versions of Kitematic relied on too many dependencies: VirtualBox, boot2docker, a DNS server inside the boot2docker VM and Unison for file syncing. The current version removed the need for the DNS server inside the VM and Unison, slimmed down the app and fixed a lot of the critical installer issues.

We're working hard to make the app reliable. In terms of UI, there are plans on making things more consistent and easier to understand as well.

Thank you again for trying out Kitematic! Definitely let us know if there are suggestions on things we can improve on :)

Kitematic 0.4 is much more stable than previous versions. This is meant to address some stability issues rather than introducing new features.

We are still working hard to make the experience as smooth as possible.

Detailed release notes from GitHub:

https://github.com/kitematic/kitematic/releases

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 :)

Thanks! Feel free to give us feedback by creating github issues or directly emailing: contact@kitematic.com

We read all the emails coming in. It gets forwarded to all of us.

Not yet. I'm sure there are others working on it too.
