Parallels Guest Tools Docker Container

This docker container wraps the Parallels Desktop for Mac Guest Tools and allows you to run them easily on RancherOS. Presumably this would work well on other guest OSes but those are untested.

Build

Install Parallels Desktop for Mac v11 (or greater)

Install Dapper: https://github.com/rancher/dapper

Extract guest tools iso and build image:

./build.sh <IMAGE TAG>

Using

This container relies on a shared mount point to be able to mount the shared folder(s) in the host. This feature requires docker v1.10.0 or greater. These examples will use /Users.

Start the docker host

docker-machine create --driver=parallels \
  --parallels-memory=2048 \
  --parallels-boot2docker-url https://github.com/rancher/os/releases/download/v1.1.0/rancheros.iso \
  default

On the docker host (or container for docker-in-docker). For RancherOS this can go in /opt/rancher/bin/start.sh.

mkdir /Users
mount --bind /Users /Users
mount --make-shared /Users
mkdir -p /usr/src

Run it:

docker run -d --privileged \
  -v /usr/src:/usr/src \
  -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules \
  -v /Users:/media/psf/Users:shared \
  outstand/parallels-tools

As a system service (RancherOS)
