CoreOS VM for macOS

CoreOS VM is macOS status bar app which allows in an easy way to control CoreOS VM on your Mac.

It leverages macOS native Hypervisor virtualisation framework of using corectl command line tool, so there are no needs to use VirtualBox or any other virtualisation software anymore.

The best use case of this App is to allow to build/test Docker and rkt images locally. You can push your Docker images to Docker Registry on 192.168.64.1:5000 run by Corectl App, to store your Docker images and share with Kubernetes Apps for macOS: Kube-solo and Kube-Cluster

App's menu looks as per image below:
