Specifying socketPath but Dockerode is using HTTP. (bun.js)

[Fumaz]

Hi, I'm initializing dockerode like this:

const docker = new Docker({socketPath: '/var/run/docker.sock'});

but when I use it, it gives the following error:

Could not get container information. ConnectionRefused: Unable to connect. Is the computer able to access the url?
path: "http://localhost/containers/b81d1747b4d9/json"

I am using Bun.

An into the same problem ... not sure how that would happen. Maybe a permission thing?

Maybe it matters: my Docker daemon version is 1.24, this is my test code:

import Docker from 'dockerode';
const docker = new Docker({ socketPath: '/var/run/docker.sock' });

The error:

/tmp/dockerode · sudo bun run index.ts
Error: ConnectionRefused: Unable to connect. Is the computer able to access the url?
 path: "http://localhost/containers/json?all=true"

Investigating

I can't reproduce that :( Tried exactly the same scenario bun and nodejs.

[hazelnutcloud]

running into same problem. using bun v1.0.7 on mac

[hazelnutcloud]

This seems to be a problem with bun. See https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/6055

[apocas]

Now I can reproduce it using bun (forgot mocha was evoking node) :) Indeed is seems something related with bun, not much we can do right now.

Temporary solution I'm using:

Run this command:

socat TCP-LISTEN:3000,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/docker.sock

Use it like this:

new Dockerode({protocol: 'http', host: 'localhost', port: 3000})

Hello, is there any fix for this issue to get linux socket to work?

[recanman]

There is a pull request, but no response yet.

[Anprotaku]

@recanman it looks like they merged another pull request that should fix it https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/9284

Should be safe to close this issue

Great, thank you! Mentioning author: @Fumaz
