Docker for Windows not working

Question

I\'ve installed Docker toolbox now and I get the error for everything:

Get http://127.0.0.1:2375/v1.20/version: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2375: ConnectExtcp: No con         


        

Answer 1

This has happened a few times for me on Windows 10 with VirtualBox 5.0.14.

It seems to be related with not shutting down VirtualBox correctly (I believe) - for example, a power cut!

1. Shutdown the Docker VM

2. Close Kitematic

3. Start the Docker Quickstart Terminal

4. Type in the terminal:

docker-machine.exe -D ls

5. Start Kitematic. VM's show up now.

If that does not work, try 1-3 again and this time try to regenerate certs. Then do step 4.

One thing that is odd, is that in the terminal docker images does not list them but says it cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:2375 (but docker-machine ls shows the default machine running on 192.168.99.100:2376).
