Same here, hangs frequently.

$ docker --version Docker version 1.12.0-rc3, build 91e29e8, experimental

And, macOS Sierra 10.12 Beta
$ sw_vers ProductName: Mac OS X ProductVersion: 10.12 BuildVersion: 16A238m

This is what can happen when running beta software on a beta OS though.

I have restored El Capitan on the computer. This beta did not work out for me very well.

Same issue for me

  • Docker hangs
  • macOS 10.12
    *Version 1.12.0-rc4-beta19 (build: 10258) c84feba3aa680f426b8fa66f688388611267cd53

$ docker pull sepulworld/aptly-cli
Using default tag: latest

hangs there

Try disabling ntpd:

sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.ntp.ntpd.plist

Can confirm disabling ntpd fixes issues on latest (experimental) docker version 1.12.0-rc4 and latest MacOS Sierra Beta 10.12 Beta (16A239j)

Can also confirm that disable ntpd helps. Any idea why?

I can also confirm that disabling ntpd works.

This (disabling ntpd) made docker Mac started successfully but I’m still having problem running docker run or docker build. It just got stuck there. Anyone has same issue?

11

I disabled the NTPD and worked

12

Disabling NTPD appears to have resolved all my issues with Version 1.12.0-rc4-beta19 (build: 10258) on 10.12 Beta (16A238m)

13

In my another mac, disable ntp does not fix the issue. docker is always in starting mode.

docker: 1.12.0-rc4-beta20 (build: 10404)
10.12 Beta (16A238m)

14

After all attempts, tried reset to factory defaults and it works with ntp disabled again. Finally.

There is one ticket is open. I am not sure it is related. https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/24675

15

So this has worked successfully for me too. The question is why? Is org.ntp.ntpd.plist called the same in previous OS builds? And digging further - if it’s causing the hang - then it’s probably related to the vmnet or something in hypervisor / moby not being able to sync with the time maybe?

disabling ntp worked for me too. thanks
