How Can I Get Mitmproxy Docker to Work on Windows Bash?

Question

When I try running mitmproxy Docker container on Windows bash, I get an error message that the Docker daemon isn't running. How can I get it to run?

docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 mitmproxy/mitmproxy

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

You need to do two things to get mitmproxy Docker container to work on Windows bash.

First, in bash: export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://127.0.0.1:2375

Secondly, in Windows: check the box in Docker Settings->General->"Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS"

Now the following command will run correctly in bash.

docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 mitmproxy/mitmproxy
