Is the Remote API available on Docker for Mac? With docker-machne and regular linux docker versions I can access the API using localhost:2375/2376. This doesn’t seem to work on Docker for Mac?

Workaround - using ‘socat’: $ socat -d TCP-LISTEN:2376,range=127.0.0.1/32,reuseaddr,fork UNIX:/var/run/docker.sock $ curl localhost:2376/version {"Version":"1.11.2","ApiVersion":"1.23","GitCommit":"56888bf","GoVersion":"go1.5.4","Os":"linux","Arch":"amd64","KernelVersion":"4.4.12-moby","BuildTime…

That’s a cool hack! Thanks for sharing

You can even run socat in the Docker for Mac itself docker run -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -p 2376:2375 bobrik/socat TCP4-LISTEN:2375,fork,reuseaddr UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/docker.sock

Try this: docker run -p 3375:2375 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -d -e PORT=2375 shipyard/docker-proxy

the question is: is this just a “missing beta feature” or is it “missing by design”? I hope not to find more workarounds in the near future but port 2375 being exported per default :slight_smile: P.S: found this thread [worked around] Docker HTTP(S) API no longer available in beta9? via https://gi…

Does anyone know other ways that do not require installation of such utilities as socat?
