In summary, you need to edit the file: /lib/systemd/system/docker.service
Instead of: tcp://127.0.0.1:2375, use the host IP address, for example: tcp://192.168.1.100:2375.

Then execute:
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart docker

Remember that setting remote access is not recommended, as someone could gain root access to the host.
