Make Docker for mac listen on a tcp port

问题:

I'm trying to get docker-java (https://github.com/docker-java/docker-java) to work with Docker for mac (https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/).

How can I set the equivalent of:

DOCKER_OPTS="-H tcp://127.0.0.1:2375 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock"

On the mac version of Docker?

回答1:

There is a related answer which suggests a workaround using socat.

It does indeed work to expose port 2375 on the network:

socat TCP-LISTEN:2375,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/docker.sock

If you are using the last docker for mac beta, according to issue 25064:

~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/database/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux is a git database.

Note: if ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/database/ does not contain com.docker.driver.amd64-linux, go to that database/ folder, and do a git reset --hard.

The daemon configuration is under etc/docker/daemon.json, which just uses the config from the Linux configuration file.

You need to change the config and then do a git commit: docker should restart automatically at that point (if not, restart it) with the new configuration.

As mentioned by the OP Michael Nelson in the comments, and detailed in "Docker for Windows" (which has sections relevant for "Docker for Mac")

The VM (Alpine-based) uses OpenRC as its init system.

The Docker init script relies on a /usr/bin/mobyconfig script.
This mobyconfig script requires the kernel to boot with a com.docker.database label specifying the location of the config file or it bails.

The mobyconfig script is able to retrieve network and insecure-registry configuration for the Docker daemon or pick up a config file from /etc/docker/daemon.json.
