title: docker for windows equivalent for "-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"
body: <p>I'm trying to control the host docker service from inside a container. </p>
  
  <p>With Linux host and Linux container that is usually done like this:
  <code>docker run -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock alpine</code></p>
  
  <p>I now want to achieve the same with a <code>Docker for Windows</code> host and a Linux container.</p>
  
  <p>If tried quite a lot of things, mostly using <code>DOCKER_HOST</code> with varying IP's like <code>10.75.0.1:2375</code> (IP of docker VM), <code>172.17.0.1:2375</code> (container IP) and <code>0.0.0.0:2375</code> as well as <code>192.168.178.xxx:2375</code> (host IP). </p>
  
  <p>But apparently nothing responds on port <code>2375</code> or <code>2376</code> which I checked with something like:
  <code>docker run -ti --rm alpine /bin/sh -c "apk add -U nmap &amp;&amp; nmap -Pn 10.72.0.1 -p 2375-2376"</code></p>
  
  <p>At this point I'd like to know if this is even possible with Docker for Windows. Most information I found concerns <code>docker-machine / VirtualBox</code> combinations.</p>
