Docker daemon is not running windows 10

This thread was one of the first that I found, so wanted to compile some of the solutions I’ve found for various issues.
I am using Windows 11 & a first time docker install.

Issue 1: Docker desktop was ‘stopped’ and whenever I tried to run a package in the terminal I was getting a long message ending in: This error may also indicate that the docker daemon is not running.

Solution:

Follow the official steps on how to install WSL 2 at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

Open PowerShell and run command:
wsl —update

Uninstall Docker.

Delete temporary data:

C:Users<USER>AppDataRoamingDocker

C:UsersProgramDataDocker

C:UsersProgramDataDockerDesktop

Reinstall Docker, ensure wsl box is ticked during install.

Restart computer.

Run Docker as administrator.

Run PowerShell as administrator.

Run the following command:

& ‘C:Program FilesDockerDockerDockerCli.exe’ -SwitchDaemon

If this doesn’t work, you may need to run the above command one or two more times.

Issue 2: Docker desktop settings check box ‘Use the WSL 2 based engine (Windows Home can only run the WSL 2 backend)’ was greyed out and unchecked.

Solution:

Open: C:Users<USER>AppDataRoamingDockersettings.json
Change: «wslEngineEnabled»: false to «wslEngineEnabled»: true

Reinstall Docker & restart computer. (not sure if necessary.)

Run Docker as administrator.

Run PowerShell as administrator.

Run the following command:

& ‘C:Program FilesDockerDockerDockerCli.exe’ -SwitchDaemon

If this doesn’t work, you may need to run the above command one or two more times.

• I have tried with the latest version of my channel (Stable or Edge)
• I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID: F165E8F9-8681-4909-8309-BC9F1E82A64F/20191211205742

Expected behavior

• Being able to start Docker Desktop
• Non-error responses from the Docker CLI on Windows

Actual behavior

Docker Desktop fails with this error box:

Attempting to use the Docker CLI — whether in a command prompt, WSL, PowerShell, or Git Bash for Windows — generates mention that the docker daemon is not running.

Command prompt

C:docker>docker ps
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.40/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.

WSL

mjbernha@LIBS-0500865:/mnt/c/Windows/System32$ docker ps
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

Powershell

PS C:Usersmjbernha> docker ps
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.40/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.

Git Bash for Windows

mjbernha@LIBS-0500865 MINGW64 ~
$ docker ps
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.40/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.

Information

• Windows Version: 10
• Docker Desktop Version: 19.03.5, build 633a0ea
• Are you running inside a virtualized Windows e.g. on a cloud server or on a mac VM: No

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Docker Desktop, and consulted various articles that have recommended various steps. I don’t use Docker frequently, and do remember some tension in the past where running Vagrant (or perhaps more accurately VirtualBox) would prevent Docker from running. When I would start Vagrant, I would be prompted to do something in order to get it to run, with the warning that this would affect Docker (somewhere in here Hyper-V was also mentioned).

However, when I now try to run Docker, I see no similar mentions that provide any useful information. I have checked within the Task Manager that Virtualization is enabled (the link from the error box that I screenshotted above). Virtualization is listed as being enabled.

I also see a link from https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/troubleshoot/#virtualization-must-be-enabled that leads to #74 — which seems odd to me as that issue was described «way messy with lots of different issues posted by users» before being closed and locked two years ago.

Please note
It is entirely possible that this issue is being caused by some aspect of my computer that is not Docker Desktop. I somewhat suspect that the issue lies in the cluster of Hyper-V, Virtualbox, or related systems. As a result, I’m not entirely hopeful that reporting this issue here will result in a solution — but perhaps I am wrong in my diagnosis. At the least, because my following Docker links has led me here, I want to describe what I’m seeing in the hope that someone else might find some value in it.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

I would love to be able to produce a Dockerfile in order to reproduce this issue — because that would imply that Docker was running in some form on my computer.

The best I can manage right now is something like:

1. Install Docker Desktop from the «Download Docker Desktop for Windows» link at https://hub.docker.com/?overlay=onboarding
2. Attempt one of the following steps:

• Launch Docker Desktop (observe the error box screenshotted above)
• Run docker ps from any CLI on Windows 10 (observe the outcome included under «Actual behvaior» above)

I recently installed Docker Toolbox on Windows machine (Windows 10 Home version). We all know Docker is awesome and serverless microservice architecture is hot. Docker has a better tool, called Docker for Windows. Unfortunately, this does not work with Windows 10 Home version (it works with Windows 10 Professional versions and Windows server 2016). But, once you get it working, Docker Toolbox is good for container development.

After installation, you can use Docker Quickstart Terminal, which is a MINGW64 shell, to use docker. This is all good. When I wanted to use Docker from Command Prompt, I had the docker daemon is not running error. It took me a long time to figure out how to fix this error. Hopefully, this blog helps you to resolve it quickly.

Error

When I tried to run docker run hello-world after starting the docker service, I got this error. When I went back to the docker shell to run the same command, it ran fine. Docker was run on Oracle Virtual Machine.

error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.36/info: 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.

Resolution

First run the command below to get default environment information.

Now you will see a bunch of variables. You need to set these variables by running them. This enables Command Prompt to connect to the default Docker engine.

Now, Docker runs!

This is all thanks to this post from IBM (Installing Docker Toolbox On Windows).

Yay!

Docker Daemon is not running #2671

PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> docker ps
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.38/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.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

same issue with me.

Run this as Administrator

I tried that option too. You mean docker/ PowerShell

Yes, but try also cmd. Like dockerd in powershell and docker in cmd. And stop the service when you start with that.

Same issue happening to me. Tried different options and doesn’t solve it :

Ok what says dockerd? When your runn it in powershell (Do you have the nat interface, do you stop the service. )??

same issue with me.

Hi, I solved this running the docker for windows (dekstop app), as administrator (not the docker command)
like this:

hope it helps!
(was working fine, don’t what caused this, update?)

Issue Description

Docker daemon fails to start up on Windows or stops for some reason and when you try to run any commands:

error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.30/info: 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.

OR if you see any of the below windows while running,

Resolution 1: Restart Docker service

This error meant the docker daemon is unreachable. Docker daemon fails to start up on Windows or stops for some reason and especially when you try to run any commands.

To fix such types of issues restarting the service will resolve the error. If not please check resolution steps 2.

Steps:

services.msc

Other options

Alternatively one can use the below command to stop and restart the service from any CLI.

net stop com.docker.service

net start com.docker.service

The service name can be retrieved from the service GUI.

Please check and validate if the docker is working fine. If not please use few other options as mentioned below.

It could be possible that your Docker CLI is not properly configured for Windows or Linux.

Please use the below commands to point the Docker CLI to either Linux containers or Windows containers.

Please check and validate if the docker is working fine. If not please use few other options as mentioned below.

Resolution 3 – Restart docker service using GUI

Once started successfully you shall see a green running icon as below,

Please check and validate if the docker is working fine. If not please use few other options as mentioned below.

Resolution 4 – Firewall settings

Please check your security software if it is blocking the docker to create a network interface. You should also check firewall software not blocking any installation or configuration.

Resolution 5 – Restart

RESTART your machine – Universal solution and if it doesn’t work out please raise a help ticket with Docker.

That’s All! Happy coding!

Docker does not start on Windows 10 #1338

Expected behavior

After installation, docker must be able to start

Actual behavior

Docker throws error on startup and fails to start.

Information

[NamedPipeClient][Error ] Unable to send Start: error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.32/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.

When trying to start or create VM using docker-machine, following error:

PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> docker-machine start default
Host does not exist: «default»

winver

Hyper-v is installed and other VMs are running on it.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I think this is because you’re using Windows 10 Home. Docker requires Hyper-V which is only available in Pro and upwards:

No. I’m using Windows 10 Enterprise. Hyper-V is installed and I have a number of VMs created and running in Hyper-V. However, docker-machine or anything related to that does not exist in Hyper-V, which I suppose has to be created as part of installing docker. Even docker-machine create command doesn’t work.

I am using Windows 10 pc. Recently I have downloaded docker for Windows and it was working fine. But, recently a problem occurred and is it not start anymore it just hang in the status starting.

I haven’t changed any configuration and I am wondering what may cause this problem.

I use the latest version of docker.

On my pc, Hyper-V is enabled and Containers are disabled. (Since, I son’t use Windows container, I don’t think it is necessary. )

On task bar, when I check docker icon. It is always in starting status.

When I check services, it seems it is running.

when I try docker command on powershell. It could not found docker command.

I am not in an urgency to set up docker, I was just playing with it. But, suddenly this problem occured. I have been trying to solve this problem for a while. I have search similar problems and uninstall docker several times while searching for a solution. It is wierd and disturbing that a tool suddenly stop working and there is no trace to find the root problem. I suspect may be company sucurity policy change effects my computer and cause this problem But I could not find any clue to support this.

My question is what should I do to understand what is wrong. What cause the problem and how can it be fixed.

Note: When I restart computer following error occurs.

content of the error message:

How do we start the daemon?

Running docker info from an elevated PowerShell prompt shows this error:

error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.27/info: 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. (Emphasis added)

How do we run the Docker daemon from the command line? If that is not possible, how do we run it without restarting Windows? If that is not possible, how do we start it at all?

Environment info

What we have tried

Command «daemon» is deprecated, and will be removed in Docker 1.16. Please run dockerd directly. exec: «dockerd»: executable file not found in %PATH%

Enabling Hyper-V and restarting the computer.

If you’re using Docker for Windows, Then simply start the desktop app installed in C:Program FilesDockerDockerDocker Desktop.exe

Docker daemon on Windows Server run as windows service. This Docker service may not be running on your machine. Follow below steps

Search for service named «Docker»

If you have installed docker on Windows 10 Pro with Hyper-V enabled and still you are not able to run Docker on Windows 10, then as the error suggests that your docker daemon is not started. Follow following steps it helped me to start docker successfully

I had the same issue in windows 7. I found my issue was getting the VM working in virtual box.

Then I could run the start.sh in cygwin or Gitbash.

Note: I had to restart any cmd’s for the docker to see the VM.
