Apple has changed their branding guidelines from 'OS X' to 'macOS' so we should update ours to be within trademark / branding guidelines. See http://www.apple.com/macos/sierra/ Signed-off-by: Misty Stanley-Jones <misty@docker.com>

Running on macOS |
macOS Setup Guide
Use-case
This is useful if you intend to run a registry server natively on macOS.
Alternatives
You can start a VM on macOS, and deploy your registry normally as a container using Docker inside that VM.
The simplest road to get there is traditionally to use the docker Toolbox, or docker-machine, which usually relies on the boot2docker iso inside a VirtualBox VM.
Solution
Using the method described here, you install and compile your own from the git repository and run it as an macOS agent.
Gotchas
Production services operation on macOS is out of scope of this document. Be sure you understand well these aspects before considering going to production with this.
Setup golang on your machine
If you know, safely skip to the next section.
If you don't, the TLDR is:
bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)
source ~/.gvm/scripts/gvm
gvm install go1.4.2
gvm use go1.4.2

Checkout the Docker Distribution source tree
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/docker
git clone https://github.com/docker/distribution.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/docker/distribution
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/docker/distribution
Build the binary
GOPATH=$(PWD)/Godeps/_workspace:$GOPATH make binaries
sudo cp bin/registry /usr/local/libexec/registry
Setup
Copy the registry configuration file in place:
mkdir /Users/Shared/Registry
cp docs/osx/config.yml /Users/Shared/Registry/config.yml
Running the Docker Registry under launchd
Copy the Docker registry plist into place:
plutil -lint docs/osx/com.docker.registry.plist
cp docs/osx/com.docker.registry.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
chmod 644 ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.docker.registry.plist
Start the Docker registry:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.docker.registry.plist
Restarting the docker registry service
launchctl stop com.docker.registry
launchctl start com.docker.registry
Unloading the docker registry service
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.docker.registry.plist
