[suchja]

1. OS? Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). Mac OSX (Yosemite? El Capitan?)

OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.5
Docker 1.12.0
Boot2Docker 1.12.0
VirtualBox 5.0.26

1. Versions. Please run ng --version. If there's nothing outputted, please run
   in a Terminal: node --version and paste the result here:

Could not start watchman; falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events.
Visit http://ember-cli.com/user-guide/#watchman for more info.
angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack
node: 5.12.0
os: linux x64

1. Repro steps. Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you
   do on your code? etc.
   
   
   
   • Create a new app with ng new -sn foo
   
   
   • Switch into folder cd foo
   
   
   • According to Issue#1566 I removed ^ from "angular-cli": "1.0.0-beta.11-webpack" in package.son.
   
   
   • Install all dependencies locally npm install
   
   
   • Start serving app with ng serve
   
   
   • Opening browser (Chrome) on http://localhost:4200 (or better to say on http://192.186.99.100:4200 as I'm running docker) -> Error: This site can't be reached
   
   
2. The log given by the failure. Normally this include a stack trace and some
   more information.

After that nothing more happens on command line.

1. Mention any other details that might be useful.

I executed the same steps for building and running angular-cli Version 1.0.0-beta.10 inside a docker container on my machine and the broccoli based development server was serving the expected page.

[clydin]

If you're running inside a docker container, you'll need to change ng serve to ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 so it can be exposed.

[suchja]

@cydlin there is no difference whether I use --host 0.0.0.0 or not.

[suchja]

I couldn't find much of any documentation. So I'm not sure where the output shown by webpack is generated. After running ng serve there is no dist folder.

[TheLarkInn]

@suchja ng serve creates a bundle and serves it virtually in memory. (So that builds are ultra fast). I don't know much about docker integration specifically.

CC @d3viant0ne any thoughts on this (in relation to the docker stuff).

[clydin]

@suchja Are you exposing the port? The docker command should contain -p 127.0.0.1:4200:4200. That should allow access with http://localhost:4200 on the host.

[d3viant0ne]

@suchja - To make this easy. Can we get the pertinent portions of you for dockerfile / docker-compose.yml

[d3viant0ne]

@suchja On second though, not necessary. My first piece of advice, get off boot2docker and onto Version 1.12.0-beta21 (build: 11019)

The list of problems related to vbox file system is like some sort of Greek tragedy. It may not solve your immediate issue but it will level the playing field a bit.

You can also find me in the Webpack gitter under the same name if you want to work on this without the messaging delay.

[suchja]

@d3viant0ne docker for mac did the trick. THANKS!!! 👏

I'm still curious about what went wrong on the boot2docker installation, but I don't want to waste your and my time anymore.
