I would like to try to use the pycharm docker plugin to start docker containers in the docker for mac beta, but I have problems to set it up… Is this currently possible at all ? I would need to set an api url (which would probably contain docker.local and certificates folder. Thanks, Bastian

Hi, The supported mechanism for talking to Docker for Mac is over the Unix socket at /var/run/docker.sock. Looking at the PyCharm stack trace - it appears to be written in Java. It seems that docker-java also supports communication over Unix sockets so this should be possible! – Dave

I upgraded to Docker for Mac Version 1.11.0-beta8 (build: 6072) 3c1bfeb0e86a9403f82302edfea4c4987cc2cb32 and the problem remains. I don’t know if the problem is with PyCharm or Docker for Mac.

@stefanfoulis this is a PyCharm issue

I’m afraid unix:///var/run/docker.sock is the only supported method for talking to the Docker API when using Docker for Mac!

Temporary workaround is use local TCP port (tcp://127.0.0.1:2376) in pycharm docker settings and pipe TCP to UNIX socket. I use socat : $socat TCP-LISTEN:2376,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:/var/run/docker.sock

[image] himikk: $socat TCP-LISTEN:2376,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:/var/run/docker.sock That workaround opens port 2376 to the world… as TLS isn’t enabled, this is a bad idea as anyone on the same network can hijack your docker daemon You might want to try this: $ socat TCP-LISTEN:2375,range…

I tried socat, and it works for building images, but PyCharm fails with com.github.dockerjava.api.exception.InternalServerErrorException: EOF error trying to run container: [image]

Definitely a pycharm issue.

I was looking for an exposed ip like I use with docker-machine to develop for a workaround where could I find the ip? http://localhost:2356 doesn’t work like I imagine it would neither did 12.1.1.16, 192.168.99.1. Any advice would be appreciated.
