I tried install docker using below command.
$ brew install --cask docker
But could not run docker daemon.
Can I install and run docker daemon in running Docker-OSX environment?
I want to do something like DinD. Is it possible?

i found the solution in https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/438
after enable nested virtualization on qemu option below, i could run docker successfully.

    -e "CPU=max" \
    -e "BOOT_ARGS=+vmx" \

and also increase memory to run docker.

    -e "RAM=8" \

this is docker command result. Thank you.
