Beta Docker.local not available after restart

[g12n (Michael Gehrmann)]

http://docker.local/ is not available on Mac Beta, after restating the Computer. Works fine after fresh install, but not after restart. I can’t locate the IP-Address of a running container.

Expected behavior

A start a Dockerized web server should be available http://docker.local/.

Actual behavior

http://docker.local/ is not available on Mac Docker Beta Docker.app: version v1.11.0-beta8.2 after restarting the computer. The Host in unknown.

ping: cannot resolve docker.local: Unknown host

I’m also running into this. Anybody aware of how to restore the correct behavior post-reboot (short of an uninstall/reinstall)?

there is already a thread about this problem here: VPN compatibiliy always enabled

has something todo with the VPN always enabled

I’m facing the same issue, and I notice too

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
97607c227368 nginx “nginx -g 'daemon off” 2 days ago Up 3 minutes 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 443/tcp webserver

In the docs mention that the PORTS should look like x.y.x.w:80->80/tcp but my is 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp

I added an entry to the hosts file for docker.local.

Any idea ?

[kgust (Kevin Gustavson)]

I suddenly started having this issue in 1.11.0-beta8. However my PORTS are reporting something different.

None:8080->80/tcp

Also I get an error when trying to ping docker.local:

$ ping docker.local
ping: cannot resolve docker.local: Unknown host

UPDATE:
Here’s a work-around for the None issue.

Docker for Mac - IP change to "None" after update

Hi, If the IP address shows up as “None” it means the VM failed to connect to the Apple “vmnet.framework”. There is currently a workaround: switch to exposing ports on localhost rather than docker.local: pinata set native/port-forwarding true This will reboot the VM, and then ports will be exposed on localhost on the Mac instead of docker.local e.g. “docker run -p 8080:80 nginx” will expose “nginx” on “http://localhost:8080/” instead of “http://docker.local:8080/” Let me know if this works …

[g12n (Michael Gehrmann)]

The Issue seems to be fixed, since docker.local has been replaced by localhost the restart isn’t a problem anymore!

Thanks Docker Team!

@kgust

pinata set native/port-forwarding true

It’s not working for me - I still have the originally described issue with 1.11.1-beta11

Same thing here - docker.local not resolving. Uninstalled and reset 4 times now, no change… Giving up on this for now. Cant access my locally running MySQL Server (yes its open and listening on 0.0.0.0) Docker Toolbox gave at least a proper static IP I could talk to.
