How we fix Docker error 255

Recently, one of our customers approached us with this error. He ran into this error while trying to launch a docker quickstart terminal.

Now let’s see how our Support Engineers fix this error to our customer.

We suggested the customer remove the default instance and re-create one using below commands

$ docker-machine rm default
$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default

Finally, this fix worked for him.

 

In another case, we provided the below steps to the customer to fix this error.

1. First, delete the default docker-machine and all associated files.
2. Then delete ‘Host-only Networks’ in Virtualbox. To do this, go into VirtualBox and click Preferences >> Network >> Host-only Networks and delete them all. This will prompt a warning, just click Remove. Once they are all gone, destroy any docker instances, and recreate them from scratch.
3. Launch Kitematic and let it create the default VM (successfully)
4. Finally, launch the Docker QuickStart terminal. This should now work without any problems.
