I have a ruby script running on
ruby 1.9.3p545 (2014-02-24) [i386-mingw32] all running on a windows 10 pro 64 bit box.
The docker .exe client installed with docker connects properly to
DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:2375
and connects and runs properly in the same shell running ruby and the script.
The script at present is simply
require 'docker'
Docker.url='tcp://localhost:2375' # I also tried http://localhost:2375
# results were the same
Docker.options={}
vers = Docker.version # this hangs for a very long timeout
Docker.version hangs and eventually times out due to a failure to connect to the daemon. I am stuck writing the script unless I can get it to connect to the local docker daemon.
