CISCO VPN - Docker Issue

Docker server means Docker Process alias Docker daemon. In the oracle vm docker daemon process is running.

Now from windows 10 ( Guest) Wants to talk with Docker Daemon process.  Now if you on cisco vpn then

Windows (10) Guest --> cisco vpn 

Now cisco vpn doesn't know who is the docker daemon process.

"Now we will use port forward technice like we are using in putty", now we will apply same technique through docker command style.

Now giving step by step process.

Click on docker quick start terminal > 

 Delete existing oracle vm instance default

1)  $docker-machine rm -f default

//Now we need create new docker instance (server)

2)  $docker-machine create default --virtualbox-no-vtx-check , if it's throwing error due to proxy then run below command

In case of proxy:

docker-machine create default --virtualbox-no-vtx-check \

--engine-env HTTP_PROXY=http://username:pwd@proxy-server:8080/ \

--engine-env HTTPS_PROXY=http://username:pwd@proxy-server:8080/ \

--engine-env NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,10.96.0.0/12,192.168.99.0/24,192.168.39.0/24

//docker-env: This is very important step.

 3) $docker-machine env

     $eval $("C:\Softwares\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine.exe" env)

In case 3rd step failing, then you need manual enter below environment varialbes.

export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.99.101:2376

export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=auto

export DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH=C:\Softwares\Docker Toolbox

export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=C:/Users/rameshvanka/.docker/machine/machines/default

//check now docker is working or not

4) docker images

4th step not working means our vpn hero enter in the middle

$ export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://127.0.0.1:2376"

$ export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=C:/Users/rameshvanka/.docker/machine/machines/default

$ docker-machine stop default

$ VBoxManage modifyvm "default" --natpf1 "docker,tcp,,2376,,2376"

$ docker-machine start default

$ docker --tlsverify=false ps

$ alias docker='docker --tlsverify=false'

$ docker pull hello-world

pull giving error means then we need to follow below steps.

//Now connect oracle vm default through docker-machine:

$ docker-machine ssh default
