服务器评测
Docker守护进程提供了一套远程REST API，具体可以参考文档：https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/api/docker_remote_api/
这套API是提供给客户端与Docker引擎通信时使用，这套API也可以由其他工具调用，比如curl或Chrome浏览器的Postman REST客户端工具。
如果是在Mac OSX Mavericks系统上使用Docker机创建Docker守护进程，那么要启用Docker远程API功能需要一定的技巧。下面一一道来。
可以使用curl工具连接到安全的Docker端口，命令如下：
$ curl https://$HOST:2376/images/json
--cert ~/.docker/cert.pem
--key ~/.docker/key.pem
--cacert ~/.docker/ca.pem
此命令存在一定的问题。主要有：
1）命令可能不工作，因为每一个Docker机的证书存储在.docker/machine/machines/目录。
2）即使命令根据路径做了修改，比如：
curl https://192.168.99.100:2376/images/json --cert $DOCKER_CERT_PATH/cert.pem --key $DOCKER_CERT_PATH/key.pem --cacert $DOCKER_CERT_PATH/ca.pem
执行命令仍然会得到错误信息：
curl: (58) SSL: Can't load the certificate "/Users/arungupta/.docker/machine/machines/couchbase/cert.pem" and its private key: OSStatus -25299
解决方法是需要更新curl工具。总的来说，最新版的curl工具使用了Apple的安全传输层API（Secure Transport API），取代了原先的OpenSSL API。这意味着证书必须是p12格式。
下面可以这样修复命令：
1）进入Docker机存放证书的目录，比如.docker/machine/machines/couchbase目录
2）生成*.p12格式的证书
openssl pkcs12 -export
-inkey key.pem
-in cert.pem
-CAfile ca.pem
-chain
-name client-side
-out cert.p12
-password pass:mypass
现在可以调用REST API了：
curl https://192.168.99.100:2376/images/json --cert $DOCKER_CERT_PATH/cert.p12 --pass mypass --key $DOCKER_CERT_PATH/key.pem --cacert $DOCKER_CERT_PATH/ca.pem
注意，–cert参数现在指向了生成的p12证书，证书的密码使用–pass参数进行指定。
然后会得到如下结果：
[{"Id":"sha256:d38beda529d3274636d6cb1c9000afe4f00fbdcfa544140d6cc0f5d7f5b8434a","ParentId":"","RepoTags":["arungupta/couchbase:latest"],"RepoDigests":null,"Created":1450330075,"Size":374824677,"VirtualSize":374824677,"Labels":{}}]
现在可以尝试启动CouchBase服务器：
~ > docker run -d -p 8091-8093:8091-8093 -p 11210:11210 arungupta/couchbase
42d1414883affd0fbb272cb1378c2f6b5118acf3ed5cb60cbecdc42f95602e3e
再调用另一个REST API来查看容器的细节内容：
~ > curl https://192.168.99.100:2376/containers/json --cert $DOCKER_CERT_PATH/cert2.p12 --pass mypass --key $DOCKER_CERT_PATH/key.pem --cacert $DOCKER_CERT_PATH/ca.pem
