spurious-server dies as soon as it's started

[dazoakley]

Hi,

I'm having real problems trying to get spurious going on my Mac. Basically when I start up spurious-server it dies instantly and I can never get past that point. Here's a transcript of my terminal session:

oakled03 in ~ λ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox development

To see how to connect your Docker Client to the Docker Engine running on this virtual machine, run: docker-machine env development

oakled03 in ~ λ eval $(docker-machine env development)

oakled03 in ~ λ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES

oakled03 in ~ λ spurious-server start
Checking if docker daemon is available...
Starting server...
Started with pid: #4424

oakled03 in ~ λ spurious init
[error] The spurious-server instance has died, start it again with: 'spurious-server start'

oakled03 in ~ λ

Here's the details of my setup:

• OS: Mac OS X 10.11.4
• Docker: docker-machine 0.7.0, docker 1.11.0
• Ruby: 2.3.0 (managed via rbenv)
• Spurious: spurious 0.4.3, spurious-server 0.6.3

Odd thing is, the very first time I tried to get this to work, I deleted and recreated my docker-machine image and it worked. But i've never got it to work since...

Any help to debug this would be very much appreciated. :)

So I don't forget myself...

gem install docker-api -v 1.24.1

@stevenjack can this be added to the README please or anchored explicitly in the Gemfile
