2014/06/06 09:55:47 Started.
2014/06/06 09:55:47 To connect the Docker client to the Docker daemon, please set :
2014/06/06 09:55:47 export DOCKER_HOST = tcp://localhost:4243
Test:
> docker version
Client version: 0.11.1
Client API version: 1.11
Go version ( client) : go1.2.1
Git commit ( client) : fb99f99
Server version: 0.11.1
Server API version: 1.11
Git commit ( server) : fb99f99
Go version ( server) : go1.2.1
Setup forward network ports. According to the documentation, the boot2docker VM must be powered off for this to work:
> boot2docker stop
Run following script (this takes a while):
for i in { 49000..49900} ; do
VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "tcp-port $i ,tcp,, $i ,, $i " ;
VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "udp-port $i ,udp,, $i ,, $i " ;
done
Starting docker VM again and login using ssh:
> boot2docker up
> boot2docker ssh
Then you should see:
