Ubuntu - Docker Desktop Random Crashes

Docker Desktop
1

Hi there,

I am experiencing challenges with docker.desktop randomly stopping all my containers and docker will not be responsive until I restart the app from the menu. I have been unable to find the source of the issue - this is the diagnostics ID below. I have also ran the “Clean / Purge data” task however, this has not helped - I have also ran the self-diagnose tool with the command below but it did not report any problems:

" /opt/docker-desktop/bin/com.docker.diagnose gather"

I am running docker desktop (personal) on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS which runs a couple of containers (cloudflare VPN and Immich Image gallery (redis))

Docker Desktop version: 4.39.0

That’s it

As community members, we can’t see any info based on your diagnostic ID. If you want to report a bug, you can do on GitHub. Here is the repo for Docker Desktop for Linux

Thanks. Would it be more helpful if I add the zip file that was generated?

I guess, but “randomly stopping” containers is likely caused by resource issues. If the virtual machine doesn’t have enough memory for the running containers Docker Desktop could become unresponsive if it can’t get information about the system in the VM.
