I reinstalled boot2docker on my OS X computer. Running boot2docker up, I get an error message:
boot2docker up
Waiting for VM and Docker daemon to start...
..............................................
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Started.
Trying to get Docker socket one more time
Error requesting socket: exit status 255
Auto detection of the VM's Docker socket failed.
Please run `boot2docker -v up` to diagnose.
Running verbose (boot2docker -v up), I can see all the tries:
executing: /usr/bin/ssh ssh -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -o
StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o
LogLevel=quiet -p 2022 -i /Users/baboo/.ssh/id_boot2docker
docker@localhost grep tcp:// /proc/$(cat /var/run/docker.pid)/cmdline
Error requesting socket: exit status 255
I already have in my /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
What's the meaning of this error and how can I solve it?
I found an issues page on GH with the same error message -- they said that they had a stray VirtualBox bootdocker vm... you can see the article here:
They basically deleted the Virtualbox VM and re-inited. Hopefully that works for you.
