Eclipse for Docker

To install: Help/Eclipse Marketplace, search for Docker Tools, install.
Otherwise, install https://tools.jboss.org/features/dockertools.html "JBoss Tools" and you get also Docker Tools.

Show View / Docker Explorer

you get by default this one:

unix:///var/run/docker.sock

but you can also work with remote docker via TCP with authentication


this view shows ALL your containers (docker ps -a) and images (docker images), with a list of ports and volumes

To enable managing a Docker environment running in your VirtualBox centos image, in VirtualBox enable port forwarding 2376 or 2375, see http://www.javamonamour.org/2017/12/docker-enabling-remote-daemon.html

Eclipse for Docker is a really nice tool! It makes it much easier to work with Docker. However I still believe one should be familiar with the Docker CLI.
