A reboot appears to have fixed this.

Reboot didn’t help. Uninstalled docker mac, and installed it again. I am still getting the same issue.

5

I’m getting exactly the same problem with the same OS X and Docker.app versions as junzheng just reported.

This has been the case for the last 2 Docker.app updates.

FYI, I still had build version 8193 in my Trash folder. It still starts up okay.

Build versions 8623 and the current 8670 do not.

Same problem for me just started today after updating to beta14.5. Restart didn’t help. Diagnostic ID: C84EEAD4-4477-4833-B334-6A86343B4D7F. Reverted to beta13.1.

A temporary workaround is to delete Docker’s Library folder and restart Docker:
$ rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker

Be careful as this will also totally WIPE all your local containers/images.

I think that wiping the directory only fixes the issue because it reset the network back to hostnet. I can reliably reproduce this simply by setting network to nat mode. Changing back to hostnet fixes the issue for me without wiping or resetting anything.

Hey janatin, can you give a quick step by step for how to change between nat mode and hostnet?

Thanks!
