How to enable access to the Docker API from Windows using the Docker Toolbox (docker machine)

Question

I am using the latest version of the Docker Toolbox, using the latest version of Oracle VirtualBox, with Windows 7 as the host OS.

I am trying to enable non-TLS access to the remote Docker API so that I can use the Postman REST client running on Windows and connect to the Docker API running on the Docker machine in VirtualBox. I found that if the Docker configuration included -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375, it would -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375expose the API on port 2375 of the docking machine, but I can’t find where this configuration is stored and can be changed.

I made docker-machine sshon docker-machine sshfrom the CLI Toolbox, and then went and delved into the file /etc/init.d/docker, but no changes to the file remained after docker-machine restart.

I was able to find the answer to this question for Ubuntu and OSX, but not for Windows.

@CarlosRafaelRamirez mentioned the right place, but I will add a few details and give more detailed step-by-step instructions, since Windows developers often do not own the Linux ecosystem.

Disclaimer : The following steps allow you to use the Docker Remote API from a Windows host, but keep two things in mind:

1. This should not be done in production, as this makes the Docker very unsafe.
2. docker-machine docker CLI. docker-machine ssh , SSH - docker.

, Docker API -TLS. (, " ". , .)

1. "Docker Quickstart Terminal". Bash , . docker-machine ip IP- - .
2. docker-machine ssh
3. cd/var/lib/boot2docker
4. sudo vi profile "vi" , "profile", Docker. ( , Windows, vi, . vi, vi . "i", . . , , Esc ZZ vi. vi , Esc :q! Enter. ":" vi mode "q!" . vi .)
5. vi, DOCKER_HOST DOCKER_HOST='-H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375' DOCKER_TLS=no. , .
6. exit SSH.
7. docker-machine restart
