Similar thing happening to me...

Unable to connect to Docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?

And I am sure it is running...

docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Tue 2016-07-26 10:24:16 EDT; 1 day 2h ago

   CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service
           ├─  652 /usr/bin/docker daemon -H fd://

Any progress?

I have pulled the latest version of cadvisor, running on Debian Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3a~test (2016-02-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux
