This article is about *short* stories of migrating boot2docker to docker tool box and trying to use kitematic.

Kitematic
What is that?
Kitematic is graphical tool for docker. It can manage containers including to pull containers from dockerhub, to run, to see logs of a container, to set environmental variable, to see container's application, and even to make issues to kitematic.
Example
I used Jenkins and redmine for trial.
I could start to use jenkins only just one push of *start* button. Although it is easy to start jenkins in docker command, I think gui start is better for *gui* people.
Next, redmine. This is a little confusing to use it because I can't use --link option in kitematic.
Generally, to link with a database container is necessary. Mysql or postgres. I chose mysql. To solve the problem, I used environmental variable.
I added some variable in env setting of mysql and redmine, but only that, I could startredmine. The variables I added is below.
- DB_USER
- DB_NAME
- DB_PASS
- DB_HOST
- DB_NAME
- DB_PORT
- DB_USER
- DB_PASS
- DB_TYPE
