How to point duffle on windows to remote docker engine?

[mrwalters1988]

Like the title says, I'm attempting to perform a basic duffle build from the examples, but I'm unsure how to point duffle to a non-local docker engine.

Use case is we'd like to package our deployment and require as little pre-work as possible with as simple of an execution process as we can make it. Having our clients need to install a docker engine to be able to run our package would be a bit much.

I don't have access to a Windows machine right now, but I think you can use the default Docker environment variable DOCKER_HOST to point to the daemon.

set DOCKER_HOST=tcp://<ip-of-docker-daemon>:2376

It is conventional to use port 2375 for un-encrypted, and port 2376 for encrypted communication with the daemon. (see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/)

Let me know if this works for you.
