Hello, I had docker desktop installed and I have uninstalled it. After that, I installed rancher desktop v1.81 on windows 10 and it works fine when I use containerd, but, when I use dockerd, any docker command I use return the following error message error during connect: this error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running: Get "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/images/json": open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. I tried to uninstall rancher desktop and reinstall it but every time it returns same error message any help will be appreciated.

you may wnat to look at the results of

docker context ls

as it might be pointing at the wrong endpoint

why did you need an additional dockerd? RD comes with moby?

dockerd is not installed with RD I am not sure why

it is when you select the moby container runtime

I selected moby container in RD but dockerd is not installed

do you mean docker cli in the host os? there is no install its included in their distro

C:\Users\aabosamra>where docker C:\Program Files\Rancher Desktop\resources\resources\win32\bin\docker.exe C:\Program Files\Rancher Desktop\resources\resources\linux\bin\docker

cool and if you run docker info what comes up

C:\Users\username>docker info Client: Context: default Debug Mode: false Plugins: buildx: Docker Buildx (Docker Inc.) Version: v0.10.4 Path: C:\Users\username\.docker\cli-plugins\docker-buildx.exe compose: Docker Compose (Docker Inc.) Version: v2.16.0 Path: C:\Users\username\.docker\cli-plugins\docker-compose.exe Server: ERROR: error during connect: this error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running: Get "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/info": open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. errors pretty printing info

so bits of old docker desktop hanging around unless you installed the client tools in your host as part of your engine install

The diagnostics pane saying everything a’ok?

hmmm not sure. things seem good assuming your container engine is set to dockerd

do I need to manually install dockerd on wsl ?

nope

I need to use dockerd and not nerdctl

yup?

I am not sure how to click off dockerd

most commands in nerdctl/containerd are the same so you can always alias

yes

than it should be listening on that pipe, but seemingly it is not

I need to connect to dockerd using sockets from java

did you look at the docker.log in the Log section of Troubleshooting?

time="2023-05-10T12:20:33Z" level=warning msg="containerd config version

1

has been deprecated and will be removed in containerd v2.0, please switch to version

2

, see https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/main/docs/PLUGINS.md#version-header"

i ahve the same, but you are using dockerd runtime anyways

nerdctl info FATA[0000] cannot access containerd socket "/run/k3s/containerd/containerd.sock" (hint: try running with

--address /var/run/docker/containerd/containerd.sock

to connect to Docker-managed containerd): no such file or directory

cool so both are unresponsive

docker.log

it’s listening. time=“2023-05-10T12:25:07.151548706Z” level=info msg=“Daemon has completed initialization” time=“2023-05-10T12:25:07.201936659Z” level=info msg=“API listen on /mnt/wsl/rancher-desktop/run/docker.sock” time=“2023-05-10T12:25:07.213601333Z” level=info msg=“API listen on /var/run/docker.sock”

echo %DOCKER_HOST% %DOCKER_HOST%

has me stumped, maybe the rancher team has more ideas. only thing I could think of is security software blocking that pipe connection

there are similarities for sure between the errors posted here and the two issues that are listed beforehand. per this comment (https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/4412#issuecomment-1533550262), can you provide the output of various

docker

commands with dockerd/moby as the selected engine?

@gray-byte-86907, Do you still see issues with

dockerd

? If yes, Can you please try below steps? • Run the command

rdctl factory-reset

• Uninstall Rancher Desktop from

Programs & Features
