This is affecting me as well.

[j00bar]

echo $DOCKER_HOST plz.

[janprill]

Seems to be a problem with the new Docker for Mac which is now in public beta. Same problem here. DOCKER_HOST is indeed not set in this situation. Docker VM is than a xhyve hypervisor. Tests with export DOCKER_VM_IP=docker run --rm --net host alpine ip addr show eth0 | sed -En "s/^.*inet (.+)\/.*$/\1/p" get you an IP address. But this address doesn't publish on port 2375. Maybe someone with more insight into the xhyve mechanics could clear this up.

▶ echo $DOCKER_HOST


~

Errr what?

xD

[cdrage]

Using Debian 8 ^^

[j00bar]

So @cdrage - check in our docs the section about configuring your Docker daemon: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-container/installation.html#configuring-docker

@janprill - That issue is open in #27

[j00bar]

Please reopen if after ensuring your Docker engine is configured properly, you still have issues.

[cdrage]

@j00bar shouldn't this be more explicit / error out when actually running ansible-container? Ideally (similar to the docs) you should be able to simply do ansible-container init then ansible-container build and run

[j00bar]

I'll agree about an explicit error message. I'll open a new issue for that.

[remyleone]

@j00bar I got the same problem and the link you posted: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-container/installation.html#configuring-docker doesn't work anymore. There is no section configuring-docker

[chouseknecht]

@sieben, can you open a new issue and share your container.yml, main.yml, ansible-container --debug version output, along with any salient output from ansible-container --debug build, and I'll attempt to trouble shoot on this end. Thanks!
