Unable to register host on rancher - ERROR: http://192.168.0.10:8080/v1 is not accessible

I am a newbie on rancher and I am trying to run it on my laptop:
Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit
X-Rancher-Version: v1.5.1
Docker version 17.03.0-ce, build 60ccb22

I get the following error:
ERROR: http://192.168.0.10:8080/v1 is not accessible
ERROR: Could not reach http://192.168.0.10:8080/v1. Giving up.

I have tried to follow along on some of the discussion with a similar problem.

I have also defined the following rules in ufw
500/udp ALLOW IN Anywhere
4500/udp ALLOW IN Anywhere
4789/udp ALLOW IN Anywhere

Unfortunately I have not be able to succeed.

The hosts you are adding have to be able to reach the Rancher server URL through port 8080, you can try curl http://192.168.0.10:8080/v1 from the commandline to retrieve why this isn’t working.
