For my Java projects, I am using a Gradle Docker plugin that creates a Docker image from a jar and publishes the image to boot2docker VM using Docker Remote API - all works well. However, I really like Rancher so I just cloned the rancher repo [https://github.com/rancher/rancher](https://github.com/rancher/rancher) and used it to start a master and a host node. The only problem is I can’t figure out the Docker Remote API port which is needed for this plugin to work. Did a lot of searches but no luck. Is there any port exposed by default on RancherOS for the Remote API? If not, is there any way I can enable it by myself? On Ubuntu I would edit /etc/init/docker.conf and do something like DOCKER\_OPTS=’-H tcp://0.0.0.0:4243 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock’ but I am not sure how to do this on Rancher. Looking forward to an answer, I would love for my team to completely move to Rancher and I think this is the main hurdle right now. Thanks in advance for any help! ---

By default, RancherOS doesn’t expose anything. You can configure Docker using the cloud-config with the `extra_args` parameter. [http://docs.rancher.com/os/configuration/docker/](http://docs.rancher.com/os/configuration/docker/)
