I am using docker-machine on OS:X. I would like to install Docker 1.11.2 into my boot2docker machine, however it looks like the combination of docker-machine and boot2docker are always pulling the latest release of boot2docker.
I have tried replacing ~/.docker/machine/machines/default/boot2docker.iso with a manually downloaded iso matching 1.11.2, however this doesn't seem to actually change the version of docker.
I do not see anything listed in docker-machine documentation which suggests it to be possible to specify which iso or version of docker to use when creating the virtualmachine. I am using VirtualBox as driver.
How can I either downgrade the version of docker installed in my virtual machine or create a new one with a specific version installed?
When creating a new machine it is possible to specify where to get the boot2docker ISO from using the --virtualbox-boot2docker-url option. When doing that it will refrain from upgrading the machine to the latest version.
Example:
docker-machine create \
--driver virtualbox \
--virtualbox-memory 6144 \
--virtualbox-hostonly-cidr "10.10.10.1/24" \
--virtualbox-cpu-count "2" \
--virtualbox-disk-size "20000" \
--virtualbox-boot2docker-url https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/releases/download/v1.12.2/boot2docker.iso \
default
It looks like there are two steps that need to happen to fully downgrade docker-machine.
First, download and replacing the boot2docker.iso file located at ~/.docker/machine/cache/boot2docker.iso. When you create a new docker-machine, it defaults to using the cached iso. Manually replacing it with whatever version iso you want is required.
This will then cause docker-machine to create the VM with the appropriate version of docker.
However, you also need to download a new version of docker toolbox in order to have the previous version for the client, as well. I am not sure how to navigate to older versions than the linked (1.11.2) but you can change the download url to whatever version you want and it seems some of them are still hosted.
Run the following following steps:
Check your docker version:
$ docker -v
Docker version 18.03.0-ce, build 0520e24
Download your docker version's of boot2docker (18.03.0-ce) from here into your local:
wget https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/releases/download/v18.03.0-ce/boot2docker.iso -P ~/.docker/machine/cache/test/boot2docker-v18-03-0-ce.iso
Create the new_virtual_box_name using the downloaded version of boot2docker:
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox --virtualbox-boot2docker-url ~/.docker/machine/cache/test/boot2docker-v18-03-0-ce.iso new_virtual_box_name

In my company we switched to Podman due to docker latest change in policies. My colleagues who use Windows with WSL2 switched seamlessly.
Me, who uses MacOs BigSur v.11.6.2 face the following issue:
$ podman machine init -v /Users:/mnt/Users
$ podman machine start
I get the following error
$ Starting machine "podman-machine-default"
$ INFO[0000] waiting for clients...
$ INFO[0000] new connection from to /var/folders/4z/9v__6yld4d7fzmbxm8trl1sh0000gn/T/podman/qemu_podman-machine-default.sock
$ Waiting for VM ...
$ qemu-system-x86_64: -virtfs local,path=/Users/Dimitrii_Meritsidi/Documents/spbh_exus/git/cdp_airflow_local_environment,mount_tag=vol0,security_model=mapped-xattr: There is no option group 'virtfs'
$ qemu-system-x86_64: -virtfs local,path=/Users/Dimitrii_Meritsidi/Documents/spbh_exus/git/cdp_airflow_local_environment,mount_tag=vol0,security_model=mapped-xattr: virtfs support is disabled
I have read that MacOs Bigsur doesn't support virtfs. What are the possible solutions here? I have found probable workaround with Vmware Fusion, however it is also on paid subscription.
The reason I need to use this mounting is because we use docker-compose.yml with volumes for launching local airflow.
try
podman machine init --volume /Users --volume /Volumes
To allow volume mounts on MacOS, podman machine needs to be created with access to the folder from which you are going to attempt to mount sub-folders, so it would have access to it.
Is likely that most MacOS users would only want to mount from within their home directory, so machine should be created like below:
podman machine init --now --cpus=4 --memory=4096 -v $HOME:$HOME
I wrote a guide for podman on macos at https://github.com/ansible/vscode-ansible/wiki/macos which you might find useful.
I am trying to update my docker related tools for macOS and I am unsure of how to go about it the following is my docker versions
Docker version 1.12.6, build 78d1802
docker-machine version 0.9.0, build 15fd4c7
docker-compose version 1.9.0, build 2585387
I do not use docker for mac and interact with docker via the command line. So my question is....How do I upgrade them individually or otherwise?
You can just use this link to download the new versión of docker, docker-machine and toolbox https://download.docker.com/mac/stable/Docker.dmg And continue using docker-machine
docker-machine creates new instances with the latest docker engine version.
Is it possible to specify the docker engine version?
The docker-machine create command has a --engine-install-url option. However I was not able to find version specific URLs (https://get.docker.com/).
From issue 2029, you should use the docker-machine create --virtualbox-boot2docker-url option instead.
You can see an example in issue 2195:
docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-boot2docker-url=https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/releases/download/v1.8.3/boot2docker.iso 183
Obviously, this would not work for more recent docker on Windows with HyperV.
I've installed Docker Toolbox v1.8.1b on OSX 10.10.5
This also installs VirtualBox v5.0.2
However, when the installation has finished and I run the Docker Quickstart Terminal, it does its thing, creates a new VM in virtualbox but then doesn't start it, finishing with the message that default is not running.
When I try to run the machine using docker-machine start default I get the message exit status 1.
When I go to VirtualBox and attempt to start the machine there, I get the following error message:
Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_VMM_SMAP_BUT_AC_CLEAR).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
ConsoleWrap
Interface:
IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
So is anyone else getting this or am I not following the instructions properly?
I had exactly the same problem. It seems that there is a bug in recent versions of VirtualBox, which is fixed in the latest test build. See https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14412
I downloaded the latest VirtualBox test build from
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds
then used the uninstaller script provided in that installer to remove the buggy version before installing the new one.
Running the Docker QuickStart Terminal again got the default VM running, but it was missing a ca.pem file:
docker is configured to use the default machine with IP 192.168.99.100
For help getting started, check out the docs at https://docs.docker.com
open /Users/justin/.docker/machine/machines/default/ca.pem: no such file or directory
VirtualBox confirmed that the VM was running.
I could create a new VM and use it with docker successfully (in a different Terminal window):
Justins-MacBook:~ justin$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox dev
Creating VirtualBox VM...
Creating SSH key...
Starting VirtualBox VM...
Starting VM...
To see how to connect Docker to this machine, run: docker-machine env dev
Justins-MacBook:~ justin$ eval "$(docker-machine env dev)"
Justins-MacBook:~ justin$ docker run hello-world
...
I then deleted the default VM:
Justins-MacBook:.docker justin$ docker-machine stop default
Justins-MacBook:.docker justin$ docker-machine rm default
Successfully removed default
Running the Docker QuickStart Terminal created a new default VM, and docker is now working happily with it.
Update: There is an open issue for this at: https://github.com/docker/toolbox/issues/119
Just wanted to add: if you have docker for mac installed, they intentionally removed the docker-machine command starting from version 2.2.0.
You can find the discussion here: https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4208
So, you need to install docker-machine separately, using the commands provided by #shivanikoko or using brew:
brew install docker-machine
ON Osx after installing docker or updating docker we have to reinstall the docker-machine again to make it work in CLI.
Running the command below helped me.
base=https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.16.0 &&
curl -L $base/docker-machine-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) >/usr/local/bin/docker-
machine &&
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
Trying
boot2docker init
as suggested in
https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/issues/436#issuecomment-50135355
but getting this error:
boot2docker init
error in run: Failed to initialize machine "boot2docker-vm": exit status 1
Any idea what is happening and how to get rid of this error?
EDIT. I am using VirtualBox v4 as provided by Boot2Docker.
Boot2docker is currently not compatible with VirtualBox 5, see Virtualbox 5.0 Compatibility.
A workaround is to use the current development version of docker-machine. On Mac OS, you can use brew to install it:
$ brew install --HEAD docker-machine
$ docker-machine -v
docker-machine version 0.4.0-dev (HEAD)
$ docker-machine create -d virtualbox boot2docker
$ eval $( docker-machine env boot2docker )
$ docker version
It has been repaired with 1.7.1
see: https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/issues/979#issuecomment-121574822
Try and start boot2docker with a minimal PATH.
As I illustrated in "How to get Docker to run on a Windows System behind a corporate firewall?", I use:
Path=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\prgs\git\latest\bin;C:\prgs\git\latest\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox;c:\prgs\Boot2DockerforWindows;C:\Users\43640119\prog\b2d\
That is
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;
C:\prgs\git\latest\bin;
C:\prgs\git\latest\usr\bin;
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox;
c:\prgs\Boot2DockerforWindows;C:\Users\43640119\prog\b2d\
With C:\prgs\git\latest being a symlink to C:\path\to\PortableGit-2.4.5.1-4th-release-candidate-64-bit\: Git-for-Windows includes the latest from Git, with a recent msys2-based bash.
And VirtualBox being 4.x, not the last 5.0, as mentioned by hzpz
