This does not seem to work on my mac. Are there any tricks?

Are you using Docker for Mac? If so, can you look at the readme in the Docker for Mac branch?

Also, I just created #4 to document/discuss a known issue I found a couple days ago. So, right now, the only piece that's working with Docker for Mac is the credentials part.

My company has a bunch of developers who are using this inside Parallels VMs, using the Linux setup instructions, and it's working well for them. I am the first one to try getting it working using Docker for Mac directly, and I haven't had time to work out all the issues yet.

Oh, also: you may have to create the logging interface before the pf redirects will work. (I'm a little fuzzy as to whether this is actually required or not, so I'm interested in more data on this point.)

sudo ifconfig pflog0 create

FWIW, I just upgraded to Sierra, and it's no longer working for me. I'm trying to figure out why not.

Ok, thanks to http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/254654/port-forwarding-on-macos-sierra I got it working again. No changes needed to the /etc/pf.anchors/fake-ec2-metadata-service and /etc/pf.conf files, but I had to run these commands:

sudo pfctl -d
sudo pfctl -vnf /etc/pf.anchors/fake-ec2-metadata-service 
sudo pfctl -evf /etc/pf.conf

It looks like the pflog0 interface isn't needed either, unless you want packet logging.

I will update the documentation accordingly.
