NOTE : I am not using boot2docker

I am trying to enable the docker remote API on my mac. However all the question here are based on using boot2docker. While installing docker on my machine, I followed these steps using the Docker Toolbox and since then I have always used the command bash --login '/Applications/Docker/Docker Quickstart Terminal.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/start.sh' to start docker in my local machine.

I was trying to follow the steps mentioned here, which state that I have to edit the docker.conf file. However I cannot locate the file at all. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Your remote API should already be available. docker-machine env default will give you the details. 

export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY="1"
export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://192.168.56.100:2376"
export DOCKER_CERT_PATH="/Users/jimbob/.docker/machine/machines/default"
export DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME="default"
# Run this command to configure your shell: 
# eval $(docker-machine env default)

In the end they both use a VirtualBox VM running boot2docker, they are just accessed in different ways.

Any daemon configuration can be done in the /var/lib/boot2docker/profile file if needed.
