Configuring a Docker Server for local development with Docker Remote Host API

This assumes both machines, server and client, are on the same network and the port that will be used is open for network connections.

On the server

Assuming you already have docker installed

vi /lib/systemd/system/docker.service

Modify the following line:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon -H fd:// -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl restart docker.service

Check it's working by running:

curl http://localhost:2375/version

On the client

export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://192.168.2.196:2375"

And that's it. From now on, docker commands on the client will execute on the server.
