      3. $ docker-machine active → list active DM
      4. $ docker version → displays versions of client and servers
      5. $ docker-machine start [machine name]
      6. $ docker-machine stop [machine name]
      7. $ docker-machine env [machine name] → connect term & virt box
      8. $ docker-machine ip [machine name] → ip address of machine
      9. $ docker-machine status [machine name] → show virt box stat
      10. $ docker-machine ssh consul ifconfig
