Hi, I am having problems starting the Rancher NFS Service. the containers quits, this is what I see in the logs: > level=info msg=Starting > level=fatal msg=“Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?” > level=info msg=Running I’m trying to start it through the UI. I can start other containers. The host is running boot2docker launched through “Add host” using the vsphere driver. Any help will be appreciated. ---

Nobody else seems to have this issue although are having other issues. Anyhow, I have upgraded to 1.2 and tried to spin up a Rancher-nfs stack. The nfs-driver service spins up a container on each host, but each container starts and then stops with the following errors: 12/14/2016 11:28:17 PMtime="2016-12-15T05:28:17Z" level=info msg=Running 12/14/2016 11:28:17 PMtime="2016-12-15T05:28:17Z" level=info msg=Starting 12/14/2016 11:28:17 PMti…
