Rancher Machine, a fork of Docker Machine

Machine lets you create Docker hosts on your computer, on cloud providers, and inside your own data center. It creates servers, installs Docker on them, then configures the Docker client to talk to them.

Installation and documentation

The original full Docker Machine documentation is available here.

This project is intended to be embedded and executed by the full Rancher product and the stand alone cli functionality will remain but the human use of it will not be the primary focus as we will expect inputs provided by other things like Terraform or UIs.

Cli binaries can be found in our Releases Pages

Issues

For historical context you can read the Docker Machine Issues but all new issues created for Rancher Machine will need to be created in Rancher

Driver Plugins

In addition to the core driver plugins bundled alongside Rancher Machine, users can make and distribute their own plugin for any virtualization technology or cloud provider. To browse the list of known Rancher Machine plugins, please see this document in our docs repo.
