Haven't found an answer anywhere... I created a VM (boot2docker) using docker-machine. I need to edit some files using root.
What is the root password in boot2docker?
If you only have a single docker machine, you simply do:
$ docker-machine ssh
If you have multiple machines, you need to find your "machine name" first:
$ docker-machine ls
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM DOCKER ERRORS
default * virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.101:2376 v1.10.2
From the above, you can see that default is the name of your machine and you can ssh as follows:
$ docker-machine ssh default
When you're in, it's a simple case of sudo-ing to root
docker@default:~$ sudo -i
Boot2Docker version 1.10.2, build master : 611be10 - Mon Feb 22 22:47:06 UTC 2016
Docker version 1.10.2, build c3959b1
root@default:~#
Edited: Also, as @MediaVince mentioned you can use the following credentials:
user: docker
pwd: tcuser
