request returned Internal Server Error for API route and version 4.22.1

[engFelipeMonteiro]

Description

I installed the latest version of docker-desktop, and couldn't make the docker-cli connect to docker-server.

Just throwing this out there for those googling for a solution. Simply restarting Docker Desktop fixed this for me. Version 4.25.0

Shouldn't have had to do it in the first place, but at least a restart got me going.

[teddyknox]

Bump

[samluiz]

for me it only fixed when i uninstalled and manually removed docker and bash completion files, and then reinstalled

[marksweb]

Just had this start happening, no updates made to the OS or docker to trigger it, nor any configuration changes.

Running macOS Version 14.1.1 (23B81)

Its also then stopped happening without me changing any config. I think I restarted the desktop app a few times, turned on automatic update downloads while I was poking around.

Very strange.

[Gerst20051]

I have also noticed this happening very frequently recently. Using Docker v4.25.2 and macOS Ventura 13.6.2.

I also decided to disable the resource saver.

Settings → Resources → Resource Saver → Uncheck "Enable Resource Saver"

After that, I noticed that one of my containers was throwing an error:

could not close temporary statistics file "pg_stat_tmp/global.tmp": No space left on device

I then checked and noticed that I had 0GB available so I ran prune to clear up some space:

[$]> docker system prune -a

Let's see if that resolves my issues 🙏

Update: I haven't run into any issues after this.

I have same issue. For me the VM crashes whenever I lock my macbook, the VM stays functioning when I'm logged in. Restarting Docker allows everything to start up again, until I lock the macbook again then VM crash.

I have been experiencing this in the latest docker, restarting usually gets me going.

[NikitaKharkov]

Guys, don't pretend to provide a solution, just ad-hock, not more, but me helped:

I ran docker, it started long and I closed the interface, but after couldn't restart it again. And face this error in the console. Me helped:

Find all processes from Docker and kill them - ps aux | grep docker And kill them all - kill -9 procID1 procID2 etc (except processes run under root).

Tried to start again - it works!

[jkugler]

Just throwing this out there for those googling for a solution. Simply restarting Docker Desktop fixed this for me. Version 4.25.0

Shouldn't have had to do it in the first place, but at least a restart got me going.

So...this is happening VERY often now, even in the middle of builds and trying to bring up clusters in Kubernetes. I'll type something simple like

docker image ls

and be met with:

request returned Internal Server Error for API route and version http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/images/json, check if the server supports the requested API version

I have $DOCKER_HOST set to the /var/run path. But it does the same thing even on the socker in my home directory.

@Gerst20051 I have the exact same setup (macOS + docker version), and the same happens to me multiple times a day.

I just disabled the resource saver after your comment, and I'll see how it goes!

[f1ynng8]

4.26.0 also has this problem, on x86 macOS 13.6.3. disabling resource saver has no improvement.

[jkugler]

As a data point, I enabled the experimental containderd feature, and I've not had any API failures since.

Do you mean this one? @jkugler

Use containerd for pulling and storing images

[usr-ein]

Reporting back after a week using it

Disabling ressource saver also did the trick for me! Cheers!

Of course, I write that this morning and then it happens again today. I upgraded to macOS 14.2 (23C64), and Docker for Mac 4.25.2 (129061), yet it still happens!

It seems to happen when I run docker compose up (Docker Compose version v2.23.0-desktop.1), and as I attach to my container.

[f1ynng8]

Unfortunately, disabling resource save didn't work for me.

macOS 13.6.3, Docker for Mac 4.26.0

[jkugler]

@f1ynng8 Yes, "Use containerd for pulling and storing images"

[cacharrin]

I started to see this problem today... My Doker Desktop is unable to stop or start new containers. I'm on windows 10

[f1ynng8]

I have enabled "Use containerd for pulling and storing images" in the experimental feature page, and will see if it improves.

[Ybouali]

a quick solution for this problem because i have been faced the same problem today

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Just open ur terminal and do this cmd ps -ef | grep docker any process related to docker just do sudo kill and the pid of the process

[Mcgoozers]

HI everyone, I am having this issue still on my Macbook Pro 2019 with latest version of Sonoma and its driving me crazy. enabled "Use containerd for pulling and storing images" and disabling resource saver did not resolve the issue.

Anyone have any solution? I guess I will just have to downgrade to 4.20.1?

[f1ynng8]

I can confirm high network load in certain container, my case is aria2 and a webdav container, will easily cause the Docker for Mac crash and show "request returned Internal Server Error for API route..."

I have tried every version from 4.22.1~4.26.1 with resource saver disabled, but this problem still exists.

Last week I enabled the "Use containerd for pulling and storing images" which caused rebuild every image and container, this problem hasn't appeard so far from then. I will observer this some more time.

[abhilesh]

I think someone pointed this above, but it seems like the issue maybe related to the 'Resource Saver' feature that was introduced in v4.22 - https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6933

I enabled the 'Use containerd for pulling and storing images' and am still running into this issue

[vhscom]

4.26.0 also has this problem, on x86 macOS 13.6.3.

Ditto M1 running Docker Desktop 4.26.1 (131620) and macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 (23B92). To reproduce I simply did a docker ps like the second individual to comment in this issue on Aug 22. This is the second for-mac issue I've hit this week.

[Mcgoozers]

Downgrading to 4.25.2 has been stable for me so far. I will report if it crashes again

[imhilla]

Mine still crushes sometimes. But restarting docker usually fixes.

Restarting Docker Engine fixes it but needs to be restarted several times a day, hardly a solution for server services where uptime is crucial

request returned Internal Server Error for API route and version http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/images/json, check if the server supports the requested API version

I have $DOCKER_HOST set to the /var/run path. But it does the same thing even on the socker in my home directory.

I understand the context of this question is for Mac but see other Windows users. I've encountered this error numerous times while doing experimental things with Vite.

Just had this issue happen on Mac on version 4.25.2 (129061). Shutting down/restcrting docker just caused the application to hang as it left orphaned processes (had to Force Quit them via the Activity Monitor).

This has started to occur increasingly more often in the last couple of weeks.

FWIW, it seems to exclusively happen (for me) when pulling many decently-large images at the same time.

[luisgj]

same error here. Restarting docker does the trick but some time it gets stuck on this error.

I'm on a 2023 Macbook Pro with M2 PRO processor.

UPDATE:

I have enabled "Use containerd for pulling and storing images" in the experimental feature page, and will see if it improves.

☝🏻 This seems to alleviate the issue.

[JulianOcampo]

Actually still happening.

For you Windows users, realize this is the for-mac repo.

I was constantly getting this error as described in this thread, and container APIs couldn't reach each other, and the web guis for each container would no longer be connectable. I'd have to restart Docker Desktop every 18 hours or so. I made 3 changes and now it's flawless with no issues, but not sure which solved my problem. a) Upgraded Mac Mini from 16 to 32GB of RAM. b) No longer ran docker containers' config folders from external hard drive and c) Switched from Docker Desktop to Orbstack.

I suspect my solution was Orbstack. Beautifully written Mac app, so much better than Docker Desktop. Installation and migration took mere minutes, and everything worked perfectly instantly. If you're seeing this issue, definitely try Orbstack as a replacement for Docker Desktop.

[Terhile]

I experienced this after upgrading to v4.26.1 on M2. enabling Use containerd for pulling and storing images fixed it for me. Use Rosetta for x86/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon is already enabled

[okdas]

Same here. I upgraded to latest (4.26.1 (131620)), and now have to restart docker a few times a day due to that issue.

[raphaeldas]

Same problem here on Windows 10, Docker Version 4.26.1 Enabling the experimental containerd feature seems to work for now.

[NiklasBr]

I got this error consistently now after upgrading to 4.27.0 on an M1 Mac.

[Rafael-Quinteiro]

Hello, guys.

My problem is resolved in version 4.27.0.

[rspears74]

Docker is completely unusable for me after upgrading to 4.27 on my Mac M1. I was getting this "Internal Server Error for API route and version" on trying to build and run containers, and now constant crashes with "Invalid virtual machine configuration. The storage device attachment is invalid." and prompts me to Quit or reset to factory settings.

[austinarchibald]

Everyone seriously try Orbstack to replace Docker Desktop. Changed my life. Now many days without any API errors or crashes or anything.

[RosalynLP]

As a data point, I enabled the experimental containderd feature, and I've not had any API failures since.

I had a fresh install which didn't work, just enabled this feature and it worked first time

[Mcgoozers]

Im still having this issue on v 4.27.1

[NiklasBr]

Same. No difference between 4.27.0 and 4.27.1 – both broken. I could have sworn I read that a fix was supposed to be in 4.27.1.

[f1ynng8]

Everyone seriously try Orbstack to replace Docker Desktop. Changed my life. Now many days without any API errors or crashes or anything.

I have changed to Orbstack too. Everyone suffering the Docker Desktop should try Orbstack. This is the real Docker.

works for me

[lazardjokovic]

Still broken, my specs:

• macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 (Apple M1 Pro)
• Docker version 4.27.2

[shane-js]

Just installed docker desktop v4.27.1 on a new hard drive on Win 10 tonight and got the same issue.

[NiklasBr]

Still broken on Docker v4.27.2 as well. @dgageot, like others in this thread it is not necessarily a Mac-only issue as it also happens in Windows 10 (see comment above) as well as in Windows 11 for me.

[guya-pecan]

+1

• Docker v4.27.1
• macOS Sonoma 14.3 (M1 Pro)

[shane-js]

Just installed docker desktop v4.27.1 on a new hard drive on Win 10 tonight and got the same issue.

Update: After a full computer shutdown (after I had already restarted as asked previously) Docker Desktop suddenly popped up a prompt to configure/setup (with Admin credentials). Once that was done the error went away. Maybe some issue with the installer not going down the right path after the first prompted restart?
