When i reinstall docker and start docker that time received that type error
Invalid virtual machine configuration. A directory sharing device configuration is invalid.
I got a solution for your problem, as I stumbled over it myself. The following steps helped me to use docker again:
- Uninstall docker by removing all files (remove the application from your applications folder and clean up resident files; I used “Hazel” for this, but I guess there are also tutorials for this)
- Restart your machine
- After restarting, open the activity monitor and search for the process
com.docker.vmnetd. If you can find it: Force the service to stop! - Reinstall docker without a restart.
For me, it helped to overcome the issue. I hope you can get back to work as well.
Actually I have one in which I also mention vmnetd: https://youtu.be/maQJSnRdy10
Note that I made that video for an older version, but the idea is the same.
Futurmore you can just check in your “~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.docker/settings.json” file and delete possible wrong path or each path that seem’s not necessary. This error is due to a path not existing in general
