Not enough entropy to support /dev/random in docker containers running in boot2docker

by

I just realized, that it is simple as mounting /dev/urandom from the host as /dev/random into the container:

$ docker run -v /dev/urandom:/dev/random ...

The result is as expected:

$ docker run --rm -it -v /dev/urandom:/dev/random ubuntu dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1024 bytes (1.0 kB) copied, 0.00223239 s, 459 kB/s

At least I know how to build my own boot2docker images now 😉
