MAC OSX fails to connect to docker

Docker Engine General
1

Installed latest boot2docker & virtualbox…I get the following:
alexs-MacBook-Pro:~ mac1$ docker run hello-world
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is ‘docker -d’ running on this host?
alexs-MacBook-Pro:~ mac1$ sudo docker version
Client version: 1.7.1
Client API version: 1.19
Go version (client): go1.4.2
Git commit (client): 786b29d
OS/Arch (client): darwin/amd64
Get http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.19/version: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: no such file or directory. Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS?
alexs-MacBook-Pro:~ mac1$ docker version
Client version: 1.7.1
Client API version: 1.19
Go version (client): go1.4.2
Git commit (client): 786b29d
OS/Arch (client): darwin/amd64
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is ‘docker -d’ running on this host?
alexs-MacBook-Pro:~ mac1$

I’ve read the forums and don’t see this issue resolved…what is happening here?

I run OSX 10.10.4.
Thanks,
Alex

It sounds like you need to set the environment variables for TLS so that the docker client can find the daemon running in the VM. You can use

eval "$(boot2docker shellinit)"

eval “$(boot2docker shellinit)”
Writing /Users/mac1/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/ca.pem
Writing /Users/mac1/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/cert.pem
Writing /Users/mac1/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/key.pem
Your environment variables are already set correctly.

that wasn’t it :frowning:

Once you’ve run the shellinit, what is the output from docker version?
