.. warning::
Docker and LXC do not support the use of softlinks for either the Docker data directory (``/var/lib/docker``) or for ``/tmp``.
If your system is likely to be set up in that way, you can use ``readlink -f`` to canonicalise the links:
``TMPDIR=$(readlink -f /tmp) /usr/local/bin/docker -d -D -g $(readlink -f /var/lib/docker) -H unix:// $EXPOSE_ALL > /var/lib/boot2docker/docker.log 2>&1``
