Could not find docker-machine in redhat 7.3

I am new to docker and have been following the official tutorial: https://docs.docker.com/get-started/part2/#run-the-app

I am using RHEL 7.3

[root@pecan-9A /]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.3 (Maipo)

Redhat makes a distinction between their docker and docker-latest RPMs. They serve different version of docker. But none of them contains the command docker-machine as suggested in the tutorial

[root@pecan-9A /]# docker -v
Docker version 1.12.6, build 3a094bd/1.12.6

[root@pecan-9A /]# docker-latest -v
Docker version 1.13.1, build 6774275/1.13.1

[root@pecan-9A /]# docker-machine ip
-bash: docker-machine: command not found

[root@pecan-9A /]# which docker-machine
/usr/bin/which: no docker-machine in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/opt/gradle/bin)

Any suggestion where to find docker-machine in RHEL?

Solution

  • docker-machine appears to be obsolete and was originally intended for Mac and Windows.

    I think you were expected to run docker-machine ip on the host, not on the Linux virtual machine running the containers.
