Description

Running on Docker In Docker and having to unset PIP_CERT and REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE in order to connect to the docker service.

These env vars are set:

DOCKER_HOST: 'tcp://docker:2376'
DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: "/certs"
DOCKER_CERT_PATH: "$DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR/client"
DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY: 1

It seems like they should take precedence over the above

Research direction

Reproduce the Docker-in-Docker setup using the listed DOCKER_* variables together with PIP_CERT and REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE, then trace how TLS configuration is selected. Done means the Docker service connection works without unsetting those variables and the intended precedence is covered by a regression test.
