How to connect to Boot2Docker from Docker UI

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!

sudo usermod -aG docker ccsnax
