How to connect using Docker Machine

By default Docker runs with TLS enabled. It auto-generates certificates and copies them to ~/.docker/machine/certs. To allow Docker UI to connect to Docker Remote API, first you need to install and allow Chrome to use those credentials.

  • First, make Chrome trust in the auto-generated CA. Execute this command to add the new CA to your Certificate Trust Settings in your Keychain:

    security add-trusted-cert -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain ~/.docker/machine/certs/ca.pem

  • Also, you need to add the auto-generated certificate to your Keychain:

    security import ~/.docker/machine/certs/key.pem -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

    security import ~/.docker/machine/certs/cert.pem -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

  • Figure out the assigned ip and port by executing docker-machine env default. Open your browser and verify Chrome can connect to the DOCKER_HOST, example: https://192.168.99.100:2376/_ping (this will ask for your certificate the first time, and you may need to restart chrome)

How to connect using Boot2Docker

By default Boot2Docker runs Docker with TLS enabled. It auto-generates certificates and copies them to ~/.boot2docker/certs. To allow Docker UI to connect to Docker Remote API, first we need to install and allow Chrome to use those credentials.

  • First, to make Chrome trust in the auto-generated CA. Execute this command to add the new CA to your Certificate Trust Settings in your Keychain:

    security add-trusted-cert -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain ~/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/ca.pem

  • Also, you need to add the auto-generated certificate to your Keychain:

    security import ~/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/key.pem -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

    security import ~/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/cert.pem -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

  • Figure out the boot2docker ip using boot2docker ip Open your browser and verify you can connect to https://192.168.59.103:2376/_ping (this will ask for your certificate the first time) Try to reconnect!
