#dockerio

I was getting this really annoying error below when trying to install and run docker via Homebrew and boot2docker on my Mac OS X 10.9 after following the instruction available via docker documentation

Git commit (client): fb99f99 2014/05/19 17:42:19 Get http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.11/version: dial unix /var/run/ docker.sock: no such file or directory

Turns out it happens because the Docker client can't communicate to the socket on the VM. To fix this you'll need to make the connection known to the Docker client. You need to add this to your bash profile file export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:4243 so that it's persisted for your terminal session.

Open up terminal and enter

$ echo -n "#Docker Host configuration\nexport DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:4243" >> ~/.bash_profile $ source ~/.bash_profile

Test to make sure it's working run

$ docker version

The error should be gone and the output should be

Client version: 0.11.1 Client API version: 1.11 Go version (client): go1.2.1 Git commit (client): fb99f99 Server version: 0.11.1 Server API version: 1.11 Git commit (server): fb99f99 Go version (server): go1.2.1 Last stable version: 0.11.1

One of these days, I'll get this blogging thing down, but until then, you'll just have to bear with my yearly updates me.

The other day, someone suggested I write a quarterly entry about all the technologies I've been playing with. Not only should it spawn current discussion, but in retrospect, should provide some insight into what I was doing at certain points in my career.

So without further adieu, in no particular order, here's what I've been looking at over the past few months:

golang

ansible

docker

chroot amis - (I think they're finally making an appearance in packer.io)

ipython notebook
