Cannot run Docker on Win7 (64bit)!

Docker Desktop for Windows
1

Hi,
I am new to docker, and am trying to install it on my Win7 PC but have below issues:

  1. Issue one: Kitematic cannot connect to the default docker machine.

Environment:

Host OS: Win7 64bit
Latest Tool Box for Windows from https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/overview/#ready-to-get-started
After installation:

Run Docker Quick Start, can see:
docker is configured to use the default machine with IP 192.168.99.100
For help getting started, check out the docs at https://docs.docker.com
Start interactive shell

$ docker-machine ip
192.168.99.100

But, when start Kitematic (Alpha), encounter:
Error: connect ENOENT //./pipe/docker_engine

Choose “Use VirtualBox”, then error with:
Could not determine IP from docker-machine.

Check VBOX.log on VirtualBox Manager for machine “default”, see errors:

  1. Issue two: as mentioned above, since i am able to check default machine using command line, i try to run the hello-world imagine but it fails:
    1). docker login
    user name:
    password: <my dockerhub account password?
    Login Succeeded
    2). docker run hello-world
    $ docker run hello-world
    Unable to find image ‘hello-world:latest’ locally
    Pulling repository docker.io/library/hello-world
    C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker.exe: Error while pulling image: Get https
    ://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/library/hello-world/images: x509: certificate
    is valid for FG3K6C3A15800021, not index.docker.io.
    See ‘C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker.exe run --help’.

Can anybody advise how to fix these? Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Pardon me for digging up an old thread.
Replying the solution that worked for me for other’s help.

First Uninstall Docker Steps:

  1. Delete ‘default’ virtual machine
    a. Launch Virtualbox
    b. Right click on ‘default’ and remove to Delete all files
  2. Uninstall Virtualbox
  3. Uninstall GIT
  4. Uninstall Docker Toolbox

Second Install Docker Steps:

  1. Install GIT by search it on internet
  2. Install VirtualBox by searching it on internet.
  3. Install Docker Toolbox by unchecking GIT and Virtualbox
  4. Start Docker Terminal

Thanks,
Syed
