默认情况下 Docker 的守护进程启动会生成一个 socket （/var/run/docker.sock）进程通信文件，而并没有监听端口，只能在本机操作 Docker。如果想在其它地方操作 Docker 主机，就需要让 Docker 主机监听一个端口号，这样可以通过端口号就能实现远程操作。Docker 提供了 Python API Client，所以可以直接用Python直接和 Docker 守护进程通信。
一、在 Docker 主机上安装 docker-py
pip install docker-py
二、修改docker配置文件/etc/sysconfig/docker，添加以下参数，启用监听端口
other_args='--insecure-registry 10.44.86.222:5000 --graph=/data/docker/images --registry-mirror=https://10.44.86.222:5000 -H tcp://10.44.86.222:9527 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock'
三、测试连接

四、版本对应错误解决方案
如果客户端版本与服务端版本对应不上，报以下错误，可以通过升级docker方式解决
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docker/api/container.py", line 68, in containers
res = self._result(self._get(u, params=params), True)
File "/usr/local/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docker/client.py", line 146, in _result
self._raise_for_status(response)
File "/usr/local/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docker/client.py", line 142, in _raise_for_status
raise errors.APIError(e, response, explanation=explanation)
docker.errors.APIError: 400 Client Error: Bad Request ("client is newer than server (client API version: 1.21, server API version: 1.19)")
升级方法：
1、下载docker最近稳定版
curl -sSL -O https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-1.9.1
2、停止docker服务并备份文件
service docker stop
mv /usr/bin/docker /usr/bin/docker_bak
3、升级docker
mv docker-1.9.1 /usr/bin/docker
chmod +x /usr/bin/docker
service docker start
4、查看最新版本
docker -v
