DOCKER_OPTS do not work in config file /etc/default/docker

Question

I have changed /etc/default/docker with DOCKER_OPTS=\"-H tcp://127.0.0.1:2375 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock\" (docker version 1.4.1 in ubuntu 14.0

Answer 1

I've just run into the "same" problem.

I noticed that all the options in the /etc/default/docker are actually commented out by default.

I removed the # in front of DOCKER_OPTS, restarted and it worked as intended.

I think previous docker versions (1.3) didn't have these options commented out by default, at least I can't remember having to remove the #-sign.
