Docker desktop is stopped on Mac M1 Monterey

[yazimpact (Yaz)]

Hi, Docker Desktop 4.24.0 is stopped after being upgraded.
I’ve tried couple things but still not working.
Remove

rm -rf Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker
rm -rf Library/Containers/com.docker.docker
rm -rf Library/Application\ Support/Docker\ Desktop

Change “filesharingDirectories”: in ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker/settings.json

Also tried force quit eveything related to Docker.

Still Docker Desktop is stopped.

Any ideas?

Docker Engine - stopped

Hi to all, After updating my MacOS to Sonoma 14.0, my Docker (desktop) stopped working, and crashed. System: MacOS 14.0 MacBook Pro M1 2020 Docker: 4.23.0 I have tried to restart Docker, my Mac, reinstalling, same and same. Any suggestions? My full problem report is here: Translated Report (Full Report Below) Process: Docker Desktop [3071] Path: /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/MacOS/Docker Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/Docker Desktop Identifier: …

I just updated to Docker Desktop 4.24 without issues on my Mac. Unfortunately I have no idea why it happens. If you want to try to properly reinstall Docker Desktop, you can watch my video which already help many users

Uninstalling Docker Desktop properly on macOS

Thank you for response.
I’ve watched the video before ask question but didn’t solve the issue(Complete uninstall)

Solved issue by upgrading Monterey 12.1 → 12.7 version.

So it seem in your case your Mac was too old or at least something changed during the upgrade that affected Docker Desktop…Thank you for your feedback.

I am also following the same issue, I removed the Docker from my machine completely as shown in the video, however when I reinstall , it again shows the same issue. And the error is Docker Engine has Stopped.
I am not sure how to start it again

System: macOS Monterey Apple M1 Pro chip

Then you probably missed something since the video was made for an older Docker Desktop just to give some ideas. Whe the engine stops that is probablycaused by an incorrect daemon configuration. Don’t forget to remove $HOME/.docker

I don’t think I mentioned in the video, since I didn’t need to reboot my Mac, but that also helps sometimes before reinstalling Docker Desktop.

Thank you rimelek for the quick response, however, I upgraded my MacOs to version 14 MacOS Somana., and now docker works fine.

Thanks for following up with your solution. I was in the exact same situation and got the exact same result. What a relief, I depend on Docker these days!

i upgraded my Os from Monterey to Somana. It worked

[rimelek (Ákos Takács)]

Just in case someone is wondering what version you updated to, you probably meant “Sonoma” not “Somana”

I tried your approach. It works for me too. Thanks a bunch!
