How do we start the daemon?

Question

Running docker info from an elevated PowerShell prompt shows this error:

error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.2

Answer 1

I had the same issue in windows 7. I found my issue was getting the VM working in virtual box.

Copy the "Boot2Docker.iso" file from "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox" 
into "C:\Users\\.docker\machine\cache"

Then I could run the start.sh in cygwin or Gitbash.

Note: I had to restart any cmd's for the docker to see the VM.
