[solved] Whale is tossing containers on Mac, keeps saying "Docker starting up"

(Teleki) #1

Expected behavior

Steady icon.

Actual behavior

Keeps tossing containers

I just upgraded (from beta7 I think) and the same is happening to me.

Edit: after quitting and booting docker again, it seems to work fine.

(Wdiechmann) #3

Have the exact same experience - and reboot’ing does not help (and updated to latest Docker just now)

(Teleki) #4

Same here. Updated to Version 1.11.1-beta11 (build: 6974), but the whale is still tossing the containers. It reports “Docker is Starting” but it never actually starts up.

(Andrewhamon) #5

I seem to have the same or similar problem. Invoking docker ps results in Error response from daemon: Bad response from Docker engine

Information

This behavior seems to have happened after a system crash. Subsequent reboots have not resolved it.

(Teleki) #6

The latest beta v1.11.1-beta12 solved my issue (or maybe it was that I also reset the installation). Either way, now I am able to run the app on the Mac.

(Iamthechad) #7

I’m still seeing this issue on v1.11.1-beta13.

I get similar errors in the logs:

Is there a reason this is marked as solved? I don’t see a proposed solution above. Can that be removed?

had the same problem, for me factory default solved it

Hope that helps

(Teleki) #10

The reason I marked it solved is because I reported the issue, and now this issue is no longer a problem for me.

(Seanlynch) #11

Ah I see. For anyone else seeing this, it was solved for me by:

  1. Opening the Docker Menu Bar app menu and clicking Settings…
  2. Hitting Uninstall/Reset icon
  3. Pressing the Reset to Factory Defaults button and hitting Reset Docker on the confirmation dialog.

For those that run into this issue and come here for a solution (or to report this solution doesn’t work for them), can you please mention whether you had a previous version of Docker for Mac or any of the other docker tools installed (and if so, which ones)?
