Hello,
I installed Dorker CE for Windows on a test Windows 2016 server. When the server reboot, the Docker containers start automatically and everything working fine.
If I login to the Windows server, and open a command prompt, and run a docker command I get:
PS C:\Users\User> docker ps
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.37/containers/json: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect. This error may also indicate that the docker daemon is not running.
After couple of minutes, the Docker Daemon (can see the icon in the system tray) start and then I can run Docker command.
Is it possible to make the Docker Daemon is running before I login so it’s available to all sessions? When I run a powershell script using the Autosys agent on the server, I get the same error as above where the Docker Daemon is not available.
Thanks,
Alex
