Docker osx /var/run/docker.sock file missing

I am running boo2docker on Osx. I need api for my project but for some reason I got empty response for any request:

http://192.168.59.103:2376/images/json returns empty json file.
This is my export:

DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/Users/johnny/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm
DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.59.103:2376
DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1

from boot2docker shell:

export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.59.103:2376
export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/Users/johnny/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm
export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1

I have lot of images on docker images:

debian                latest              479215127fa7        13 days ago         84.99 MB
debian                wheezy              479215127fa7        13 days ago         84.99 MB
postgres              9.4-rc1             d8c1fb73883a        7 weeks ago         214.3 MB

.....

One more thing /var/run/docker.sock file does not exists (sudo find / -name docker.sock return nothing).
So when I do echo -e “GET /images/json HTTP/1.0\r\n” | nc -U /var/run/docker.sock nothing is returned.

boot2docker config gives me this

# boot2docker profile filename: /Users/johnny/.boot2docker/profile

Clobber = true

DHCPEnabled = true
Serial = false
SerialFile = "/Users/johnny/.boot2docker/boot2docker-vm.sock"
Waittime = 300
Retries = 75

/Users/johnny/.boot2docker/boot2docker-vm.sock is also empty.
Can anyone help me with this?

UPDATE: funny thing when I run tobegit3hub/seagull i can see all containers and images.

/var/run/docker.sock will not be on your OSX filesystem - the Docker daemon is running inside the boot2docker VM - and that’s where the unix socket is.

That serial file is also not related to the docker socket.

oyu need to talk to the TCP socket specified in the DOCKER_HOST env.

My question was: Why is http://192.168.59.103:2376/images/json returns empty json file when I have running containers?

I can see in boot2docker ssh docker.log this: http: TLS handshake error from 192.168.59.3:54603: tls: first record does not look like a TLS handshake

it sounds to me like you’re not getting an empty json response, you’re getting an error because the client and server are not talking to each other.
