`docker` cli tools don't work from mac to boot2docker #8

Closed awinder closed 9 years ago

Having a weird issue on a clean install on a new mac (I've been running this for the past month and it's been a breeze!) If I make ssh, I'm able to get into the boot2docker instance just fine, and docker commands work without an issue. When I try from my mac though, I get an instant reply:

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is 'docker -d' running on this host?

I'm setting DOCKER_HOST with the results of make ip (in the standard format, like tcp://192.168.64.2:2375). Any idea what could be going wrong or anything I can provide to help debug this?

Have you modified my scripts and/or re-created boot2docker-data.img?

Could you make sure the value of DOCKER_HOST again?

Could you check the process of docker daemon in the VM with ps ax | grep docker? I would like to see parameters of that.

How about the other environment variables for docker cli? DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY and/or DOCKER_CERT_PATH

if they have something, try the following.

unset DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY
unset DOCKER_CERT_PATH
export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://`make ip`:2375

Aha! That was it, I created my own boot2docker-data.img (for a larger disk) and it somehow had a corrupted partition table. Recreating that and then relaunching the VM cleared things up. Thanks!

You're welcome. That's good to know. Thanks for opening an issue.

Sure thing, thank YOU for the great project :smile:
