docker-machine Cannot connect to the docker engine endpoint (centos-7) about docker-machine-driver-triton HOT 9 OPEN

@tianon will be better able to speak to this than me, but I think the cert generation is handled in Docker Machine separately from what this driver does. I believe the driver is just responsible for provisioning the machine and then it hands the ssh details off to Docker Machine for installation of Docker.

My suspicion is the problem could be in the CentOS image or it could be in Docker Machine itself and how it attempts to configure on top of CentOS. That doesn't do anything to fix the problem, but it's what I know of it so far.

In terms of what to do next, the next question I have is if CentOS machines work with other cloud drivers?

@misterbisson is correct -- docker-machine itself handles the cert generation and transfer, the driver simply provides a box for provisioning 👍

Does it work with earlier versions of the CentOS image, like centos-7@20161028 ?

from docker-machine-driver-triton.

I tested 20161028 and 20160415 images, both gave the same error.

Disabling firewalld lets the connection through.

em... i got a similar problem.rm machine and recreate also occure, let me surprice that the problem occure when i creat bridged.can tel me how deal, if you done

from docker-machine-driver-triton.

recreate, can work

from docker-machine-driver-triton.

have you resolved this issue in a polite way instead arbitrarily recreate a VM?

from docker-machine-driver-triton.

I have something similar... it's because the default docker installed on the remove system is not running the different listeners and quite possibly also missing the certificates. (I have the same issue trying to docker-machine -d generic but docker is not running it.... ssh into the remote system then run netstat -ln you probably wont see entries. And then it could also be iptables.
