docker & weave & photon

Putting Docker, Weave and Photon together

1. appcatalyst vm create [your vm name]
2. appcatalyst vmpower on [your vm name]
3. (wait... 10 seconds or so)
4. appcatalyst guest getip [your vm name]
5. ssh -i /opt/vmware/appcatalyst/etc/appcatalyst_insecure_ssh_key photon@[ip_address]

now you're in the VM, let's get weave

1. sudo curl -L git.io/weave -O /usr/local/bin/weave
2. sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/weave
3. sudo -s
4. /usr/local/bin/weave launch
5. /usr/local/bin/weave launch-dns
6. /usr/local/bin/weave launch-proxy
7. eval $(/usr/local/bin/weave proxy-env)

now you can run docker commands have weave play "nice" (dynamic mapping of --name to weaveDNS, etc.)
