Docker error: client and server don't have same version

Question

Since I just updated Docker to 1.1.0 I get:

Error response from daemon: client and server don\'t have same version (client : 1.13, server: 1.12)

Answer 1

boot2docker delete

boot2docker init

worked for me. stop/start the deamon before and after that of course.

Answer 2

I was trying to query a Docker server with a more recent client:

• Server API version: 1.21
• Client API version 1.22

The solution for me was to just:

export DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.21
