Docker commands fails (in Windows)

Question

I am trying to use Docker on a windows machine and is hit with every possible issue it seems. My latest one is this: My machine is running but I can\'t seem to interact with

Answer 1

I had to deal with the same issue on Windows.

To solve it:

1. Create a docker machine (only if you have not got one)

   docker-machine create  default
   

2. Get the ENV vars which the docker client needs in order to connect to the docker machine (server) [This you will need to do every time or set in your ENV vars]

   docker-machine.exe env default
   

   You can either install them manually or run one of the following depending on your shell environment (cmd, bash, power-shell)

   docker-machine env --shell=cmd # you need to run it manually
   docker-machine env --shell=bash > env-var-commands-tmp && . env-var-commands-tmp && rm env-var-commands-tmp
   docker-machine env --shell=powershell | Invoke-Expression
