I’m trying to play around with experimental docker. OSX isn’t supported yet so thought I’d boot up a docker container in a VM and install experimental docker on there. Hasn’t gone as smooth as I hoped ☹

I tried running this on ubuntu:14.04 and debian:jessie.

I ran this to get it in the container.

```
wget -qO- https://experimental.docker.com/ | sh

```

When I run docker version (or any command) I get

```
Post http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.20/networks: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: no such file or directory.
* Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS?
* Is your docker daemon up and running?

```

So how do I properly set up the TLS? I think I’ve been spoiled by docker-machine so I forgot how to do that stuff.

Thanks.

[http://docs.docker.com/articles/https/](http://docs.docker.com/articles/https/) might help you set up TLS
