Unable to enable Add the *.docker.internal names to the host's etc/hosts file

realtebo commented 10 months ago

Description

Context:

On windows 11, I am running docker desktop using WSL2 engine.

I cannot activate the following highlighted option

Add the *.docker.internal names to the host's etc/hosts file (Requires password)

I already tried stopping engine I already tried restarting docker desktop as admin

"{\"message\":\"refreshing hosts: Post \\\"http://ipc/dns/refresh-hosts\\\": open \\\\\\\\.\\\\pipe\\\\dockerBackendV2: The system cannot find the file specified.\"}\n{\"message\":\"refreshing hosts: Post \\\"http://ipc/dns/refresh-hosts\\\": open \\\\\\\\.\\\\pipe\\\\dockerBackendV2: The system cannot find the file specified.\"}\n{\"message\":\"refreshing hosts: Post \\\"http://ipc/dns/refresh-hosts\\\": open \\\\\\\\.\\\\pipe\\\\dockerBackendV2: The system cannot find the file specified.\"}\n"

What's the problem ?

What is http://ipc/dns/refresh-hosts and why it's unable to be found on my machine?

Reproduce

Fresh install of docker desktop on windows 11, choosing WSL 2 as engine I don't know if it's reproducible on other machines

Expected behavior

I expected no errors

I am having the exact same issue on Windows 10. I was not experiencing this when i performed a normal installation of Docker Desktop, i was suffering from an issue trying to run Go commands and saw that it could be related to docker desktop and to reinstall it in a different path like C:\Docker. After that the issue began.

I am experimenting the same issue, has a way to fix it been found yet?

manromcar commented 8 months ago

I have found a solution to it. It seems that even if you have opened the application Docker Desktop, there are problems with the service associated to the app, and it doesn't start. To solve it, you have to follow these steps:

Open the Services Manager
Find the Docker Desktop service
Right click and start it
Sometimes it will create issues like these, so I recommend putting in Automatic instead of manual to avoid them

I hope this guide can help you and anyone with this or similar issues to fix it.

Thanks for your attention.

My experiments have shown that the DNS names work for some base OS images.

For example, it does not work for Server Core (e.g. IIS, ASP.NET Framework) while it does work on Server Nano (PowerShell Core, ASP.NET Core, etc.)
