Change the docker virtual machine size

If you don't have the ~/.boot2docker/profile file yet,

boot2docker config > ~/.boot2docker/profile

Then, in the new ~/.boot2docker/profile file, change the size

DiskSize = 50000

Then reinstall boot2docker

boot2docker poweroff
boot2docker destroy
boot2docker init
boot2docker up

Docker IP Address

docker inspect --format='{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}' CONTAINER_NAME

SSH access to boot2docker

boot2docker ssh

An error occurred trying to connect: Get https://xx:xx/v1.20/containers/json: x509: certificate is valid for 127.0.0.1, xx, xxx, not xxxx

First, try boot2docker upgrade because there was a known bug before 1.7.1.

Then, finally, if it doesn't work, disable all certificate checks

alias docker="docker --tlsverify=false"
