This gem is heavily inspired by machine-share,
a nodejs package, which does basically the same thing as this gem.
I just had some minor inconveniences with it,
so I decided I would write my own version in Ruby.

If you use docker-machine, this might come in handy,
if you ever want to share your remote docker-machine instance
with a collegue or across multiple machines.

With this gem, you can export your configuration files for a specific
docker-machine instance into a zip file. You can then share the created
zip file with others / other computers and import it again.

Install from rubygems with ...

$ gem install machine_configure

If you want to install the gem manually from this repository directly,
you'll need to:

• Clone the repository,
• install all dependencies,
• build the gem, and
• install it.

Here's a command to copy/paste, it does all of the above ...

git clone https://github.com/Noah2610/MachineConfigure.git && \
cd MachineConfigure && \
bundle install --with development && \
rake build && \
gems=($(ls pkg/machine_configure-*)); \
gem install "${gems[-1]}"; \
unset gems

Once this completes, you should have the gem installed.
You can try using it by executing maccon.

To export the configurations of an existing docker-machine instance,
use the export keyword, pass the machine's name,
and optionally, the output zip file.

$ maccon export my_machine                         # Creates my_machine.zip
$ maccon export my_machine my_machine_configs.zip  # Creates my_machine_configs.zip

To import a docker-machine's configuration files from a zip file,
use the import keyword, and pass the target zip file.

$ maccon import my_machine_configs.zip

For all command-line options, see --help.
