docker-compose up leads to “client and server don't have same version (client : 1.14, server: 1.12)” error but client and server have the same version

Question

docker version prints:

Client version: 1.0.1
Client API version: 1.12
Go version (client): go1.2.1
Git commit (client): 990021a
Server version:          


        

Answer 1

Try restarting the docker service after upgrading Docker (sudo service docker restart).

I had a very similar issue, upgraded Docker, and kept running into the same error message until I restarted the service. (See https://serverfault.com/a/700707/295500.)
