This is an old problem, but i cann’t find the usefull method.
I have the following env
Local Host (My Laptop) Name : Chris-Laptop , docker-machine is already installed , Mac OS X 10.11
Remote Host (My VPS) Name : li845-130 , docker-engine is already installed, CentOS 7.0
1.Docker Daemon Process in Remote Host
[root@li845-130 ~]# ps -ef|grep docker | grep -v grep
root 12093 1 0 02:09 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/docker daemon -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2376
2.Configure the ssh connection without password
[tdy218@Chris-Laptop .ssh]$ ssh root@139.162.3.130
Last failed login: Mon Mar 21 02:54:06 UTC 2016 from 125.88.177.95 on ssh:notty
There were 54 failed login attempts since the last successful login.
Last login: Mon Mar 21 02:25:25 2016 from 114.248.235.223
[root@li845-130 ~]#
3.Add remote docker host to local docker machines
[tdy218@Chris-Laptop .ssh]$ docker-machine create --driver none -url=tcp://139.162.3.130:2376 linodevps

It report “Too many retries waiting for SSH to be available. Last error: Maximum number of retries (60) exceeded…” at last.
Why ? i have configurated the ssh connection between local host and remote docker host without password.
How can export the docker host to local docker-machine command line ?
