window上启动Docker kitematic 失败

Question

之前并没有window下安装过Kitematic，今天安装后失败:

日志如下：

C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine.exe -D create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-memory 2048 default returned non zero exit code. Stderr: Docker Machine Version: 0.5.2 ( 0456b9f ) Found binary path at C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine-driver-virtualbox.exe Launching plugin server for driver virtualbox Plugin server listening at address 127.0.0.1:52012 () Calling .GetVersion Using API Version 1 () Calling .SetConfigRaw () Calling .GetMachineName (flag-lookup) Calling .GetCreateFlags Making call to close connection to plugin binary Making call to close driver server (flag-lookup) Calling .Close Successfully made call to close driver server Found binary path at C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine-driver-virtualbox.exe Launching plugin server for driver virtualbox Plugin server listening at address 127.0.0.1:52016 () Calling .GetVersion Using API Version 1 () Calling .SetConfigRaw () Calling .GetMachineName (default) Calling .GetMachineName (default) Calling .DriverName Host already exists: "default"

Answer 1

1. When installing Kitematic, did you install virtualbox?

2. Windows Kitematic is weird and will not connect to the already running vb docker instance. Look at the "DriverName Host already exists: "default" at the end of your log, which means the instance is already running. Go to open virtualbox and see a default machine in the branch. Close it or delete it. Start Kitematic again.

3, Extra: Kitematic for Windows will first enable Hyper-V. Some non-Server Windows versions cannot install Hyper-V and will report an error. There will be two buttons to switch to virtualbox.
