Docker beta for Mac hanging on ps

Docker Desktop
21

This still occurs, even with the latest beta-21.
I have some container that run gulp tasks - like gulp watch, those seem to be a trigger, but I can’t say 100% that is the only ting that causes it.
I know that I have to restart docker app quite regularly… and this is very frustrating and makes docker FAR from a stable development platform… let alone something I’d feel comfortable in production…
Of course, I’d not be running a production build on Docker Mac…

It really would be good to root cause (and fix) this one! Does anyone have any advice?

Faced with the same issue today on my Mac. ‘Factory reset’ helped to solve this issue.

This has happened to me once or twice before, and I resolved it with a factory reset. But today, I didn’t want to have to re-download and re-build images. Instead, ran:

pgrep -i -f docker | xargs sudo kill

That killed the Docker Daemon too. So, I re-launched Docker to get the whale back in my menubar.

After 20 - 30 seconds, docker ps worked again. :slight_smile:

It’s happening to me fairly regularly. If I leave docker running a long time, it seems like docker command can’t communicate with the VM anymore.

I installed docker for Mac two days ago, so it’s likely the latest :slight_smile:

Sometimes docker stop $(docker ps -a -q) will kill my nodejs container but then dies killing the mongodb one.

pgrep -i -f docker | xargs sudo kill

Works for me, but that’s really a workaround for a pretty bad bug. Doing that kind of rude kill of mongodb, for example, might corrupt things.
