Kitematic for the FAQ

[elmar-hinz]

It took me hours to figure the strange behaviour out. I had removed Docker-For-Mac before installing dinghy and was not able to connect Kitematic. No idea why.

It took me hours to figure out the reason: Kitematic simply forces me to install Docker-For-Mac.

Install it and I can use dinghy. Put Docker-For-Mac into trash and dinghy becomes unaccessible by Kitematic, too.

Did you file an issue with the Kitematic project? They might want to display a better error message if somebody mistakenly deletes Docker for Mac, maybe thinking they don't need it anymore now that they're using Kitematic.

What sort of symptoms did you see when it wasn't working? Some sort of error message? We'd want to add the exact error to the FAQ for people searching for an answer.
