Docker-machine: Error with pre-create check in windows

I've installed docker-machine version 0.14.0 on my windows 7. I am trying to create machines like a manager, workers when entering docker-machine create --driver hyperv manager1 to create a manager getting the following error:

Error with pre-create check: "read tcp 127.0.0.1:50491->127.0.0.1:50490: wsarecv: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."

Wrapper Docker Machine process exiting due to closed plugin server (connection is shut down)

Can anyone help me?

Solution

  • This is because you are trying to create a machine using --driver hyperv from windows 7 machine and this option is available for Windows 10/HyperV

    The documentation says you have to use docker-machine create --driver virtualbox manager1 on Mac, Linux, Windows 7 & 8

    Hope this will help you
