Where should I set the '--insecure-registry' flag on Mac OS?

Question

I am using OS X 10.10. When trying to communicate with our team\'s private docker registry, it keeps giving me errors like this:

Error: Invalid registry endp         


        

Answer 1

The proper way to set it is via the --engine-insecure-registry argument to docker-machine:

docker-machine create --driver virtualbox \
  --engine-insecure-registry myregistry:5000 dev

You can also pass other options using --engine-opts. For example, set dns via --engine-opt dns=8.8.8.8

This essentially ends up setting EXTRA_ARGS in /var/lib/boot2docker/profile
