Docker not working on win2k16

Archive Windows Server 2016
1

I have setup containers on a win2K16 according to msdn instructions, running any command gives back the following error(firewall disabled)

Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

My docker version is

I found a similar thread at

it is indicated because of a corp firewall which is not my case, firewall is disabled on the machine and has direct access to internet

I had the same issue connecting docker host server( windows server 2016 where docker engine running) to direct internet connection resolved the problem.

alternate solution : configure your company proxy server inside powershell for docker.

##[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(“HTTP_PROXY”, “http://proxyserver:port”, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)"##

And restart docker service : restart-service docker

And try pulling any container.

I am at home office and have no proxy
Why do you assume that everybody has a proxy issue like you?

Hi!

Have you configured the config file for the deamon, specifically the HOST part for the client part to talk to the server part on the local host ?

{
“hosts”: [“tcp://0.0.0.0:2375”]
}

I’m not sure that is the reason since you have a reply on server side when running “docker version” but that could be related.

I hope it helps, cheers.

Yes Sir, here is my daemon file
{
“graph”: “E:\DockerMachines”,
“hosts”: [“tcp://192.168.5.34:2375”, “npipe://”]

}

I cna see that it is listening on posrt 2375 when doing netstat

Hi, any feedback on this?

Can you share the output from this troubleshooting script and also from docker pull microsoft/nanoserver ?

Here is the same error in the eventlog

The description for Event ID 1 from source docker cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

How can I remove docker on windows 2k16 then reinstall and do a fresh new setup to see if there is something wrong in the initial setup process?

11

This should be enough to remove the service:

stop-service docker
dockerd.exe --unregister-service

Then, you can use the manual installation steps to try v1.13-rc4:

Invoke-WebRequest "https://test.docker.com/builds/Windows/x86_64/docker-1.13.0-rc4.zip" -OutFile "$env:TEMP\docker-1.13.0-rc4.zip" -UseBasicParsing
Expand-Archive -Path "$env:TEMP\docker-1.13.0-rc4.zip" -DestinationPath $env:ProgramFiles
dockerd --register-service

I don’t think this is an installation problem, it seems to be network or certificate related. There’s a chance v1.13-rc4 has a fix but I don’t know for sure.

Just to confirm - you get the timeout error after running docker pull microsoft/nanoserver correct?

Yes, exactly, ac ouple of minutes after running
docker pull microsoft/nanoserver correct
I get the error

Patrick, "can use the manual installation steps " what are those steps? thanks

13

I copied the steps above to download & extract, they’re from here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/quick-start-windows-10 . It says for Windows 10 but it will work on both Win10 & 2016

Ok thanks, but should if go through the steps of uninstalling on wink16 as setup was done through the following steps

Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider

15

I think you can do remove-package, but you can overwrite the files and things will work fine.

I think cloudfront.net is the CDN used for some of the Docker Hub content, not the Windows content itself.

16

@eliassal please report back what you see after uprading to the 1.13 RC4 release candidate. As @patricklang mentioned, you don’t have to worry too much about uninstalling. You can nuke the $Env:ProgramFiles\docker directory on the WS2016 machine and follow Patrick’s instructions.

Please also post more details on the WS2016 system in question. Eg. is it a VM (running on virtualbox, hyper-v, etc.) or a bare-metal system, and details on how it was set up. It might be networking or DNS weirdness as detailed here: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/22635

Also let us know what happens if you access the cloudfront urls you see using Invoke-Webrequest and/or a browser.

Patrick, Michael, I upgraded as recommended, getting the exact same error as you can notice

PS C:\Users\salam> dockerd --register-service
PS C:\Users\salam> Start-Service Docker

Then downlaoded 1.13-rc4 version

Yes, i is a win2K16 hyper-V VM, itself has Hyper-V enabled as well, it can access internet as it is connected to an external switch, it connects and ping anythinhg on the internet as other machines

Hello Guys

Just evaluating docker myself on Windows 2016 and had the same issues. Just got working now with the 1.14 release.

1.Obtain 1-14 version from -https://master.dockerproject.org/
docker-1.14.0-dev.zip - copied to c:

  1. ran
    stop-service docker
    dockerd.exe --unregister-service
    Expand-Archive -Path “$env:c:\docker-1.14.0-dev.zip” -DestinationPath $env:ProgramFiles -Force
    dockerd --register-service
    Start-Service Docker

no running below command and it’s pulling down windowsservercore
docker pull microsoft/windowsservercore

Thanks Patrick / Eliassal / Guys
