UBUNTU DOCKER FIG ERROR

FIX FOR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http+unix://var/run/docker.sock - is it running?

Change the DOCKER_OPTS in /etc/default/docker to:
DOCKER_OPTS="-H tcp://127.0.0.1:4243 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock"

Ruslan Khamidullin [1:57 PM] netstat -ant  |grep 4243
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:4243          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

Ruslan Khamidullin [1:57 PM] export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:4243

Ruslan Khamidullin [1:58 PM] $ echo $DOCKER_HOST
tcp://localhost:4243 

*Change the DOCKER_OPTS in /etc/default/docker.io

If you are using docker.io

I had to run sudo service docker restart before the netstat command and everything else worked.
