Solved: Unable to query docker version: Get https://192.168.99.100:2376/v1.15/version: x509: certificate is valid for 192.168.99.103, not 192.168.99.100

Today we will look at an interesting issue you will face if you stop the docker machines and then start them after physical machine reboot.
OR,
When IP address assigned to docker machines changes.

Issue Details

$ docker-machine ls

$ docker-machine env firstmanager
Error checking TLS connection: Error checking and/or regenerating the certs: There was an error validating certificates for host "192.168.99.100:2376": x509: certificate is valid for 192.168.99.103, not 192.168.99.100
You can attempt to regenerate them using 'docker-machine regenerate-certs [name]'.
Be advised that this will trigger a Docker daemon restart which might stop running containers.

Solution
To solve this issue we need to regenerate the certificates for all those machines which are showing error message.

In my case, all machines are showing error message, hence i have regenerated the certificates for all machines below.
