With Weave Scope you have in seconds a beautiful monitoring, visualisation & management for Docker and Kubernetes via your browser. I show with Docker-Selenium a simple example.

Preconditions

Lets go…

# create new Docker VM (local)
$ docker-machine create -d virtualbox WeaveScope

# pointing shell to WeaveScope VM (local)
$ eval $(docker-machine env WeaveScope)

# SSH into WeaveScope VM (local -> VM)
$ docker-machine ssh WeaveScope

# become root (VM)
$ sudo su -

# download scope (VM)
$ wget -O /usr/local/bin/scope https://git.io/scope

# change access rights of scope (VM)
$ chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/scope

# launch scope (VM)
# Do not forget the shown URL!!!
$ scope launch

# exit root and ssh (VM -> local)
$ exit
