I have the same issue on my Ubuntu 18.04
same here using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
Running pre-create checks... Error with pre-create check: "VBoxManage not found. Make sure VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path"
$ which virtualbox
/usr/bin/virtualbox
$ which VBoxManage
/usr/bin/VBoxManage
any progress on this? I have the same problem
$ docker-machine create default
Running pre-create checks...
Error with pre-create check: "VBoxManage not found. Make sure VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path"
$ which VBoxManage
/usr/bin/VBoxManage
same. also tried installing from /usr/bin
in 18.04
Same here. This post suggests it may be due to case-sensitivity, but the suggested fix (below) did not solve the issue in my case.
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage /usr/local/bin/vboxmanage
I had the same issue on 18.04, and here were the steps I took to resolve it.

I had the same issue on 18.04, and here were the steps I took to resolve it.
1. Reinstalled virtualbox 2. Renamed VBoxManage to match casing 3. Followed [this](https://docs.docker.com/machine/install-machine/) guide to reinstall Docker Machine. 4. Reinstalled [bash completion scripts](https://docs.docker.com/machine/install-machine/#install-bash-completion-scripts) in `etc/bash_completion.d/` 5. `sudo docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default`
Could you please explain Step 2, what are the files we need to rename(provide with dir)
For step 2, I ran sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage /usr/local/bin/vboxmanage
. Also, I followed the guide here when I initially installed Docker.
Seems the key is in how virtualbox is started on the system. If virtualbox was started using sudo
, then the docker-machine commands will require sudo in front of it as well. But if you start virtualbox with the same user that you want to run docker-machine with, then sudo is not needed.
Note also that the.docker
folder in your home directory should be owned by the user that you run docker-machine with, if you don't want to prepend sudo all the time that is.
some more details here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/513405/vboxmanage-works-only-with-sudo
running "sudo docker-machine create default" instead of "docker-machine create default" solved my problem on Ubuntu 18.04
EDIT: If you do not want to use "sudo" every time you access Docker, read this post. It worked on my machine
If you're still having this problem a solution that worked on my machine was to switch shell, i was using zsh and for some reason switching to bash changed the error.
The new error was:
Error checking if host exists: stat /home/user/.docker/machine/machines/default: permission denied
and by that point all i had to do was delete the ~/.docker
folder (with root) and then i could run the create command without sudo
.
This recreated the ~/.docker
folder this time owned by my default user.
Another wierd thing is that deleting the docker folder and running docker-machine create ...
from zsh would not work in anycase.
Solved for me by adding myself to docker
group ( https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user ):
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Restarting PC and running again.
I'm using
Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
just running:
base=https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.16.0 && curl -L $base/docker-machine-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) >/tmp/docker-machine && sudo install /tmp/docker-machine /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
Then:
sudo docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
Reference from:
@darkiosys approach worked for me ! Thanks a lot man
In order to work with docker-machine on Ubuntu 18.04, you need to install the VirtualBox: Step1: sudo add-apt-repository multiverse && sudo apt-get update Step2: sudo apt-get install virtualbox Step3: Download the Docker Machine binary and extract it to your PATH: base=https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.16.0 && curl -L $base/docker-machine-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) >/tmp/docker-machine && sudo install /tmp/docker-machine /usr/local/bin/docker-machine Step4: sudo docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default or docker-machine create node1 (creates a node named node1. Similarly, to create additional nodes by providing a different names (node2/3)
hope this helps!
for me helped just installing docker-machine
from here https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/
no other steps were required
I think it's important to note:
sudo snap remove docker
.Removing the v0.15.0 installation that snap installs and then manually installing v0.16.0 fixes it.
@darkiosys your approach worked for me too :) on ubuntu 18.04
I'm having the same issue on 18.04. VBoxMange is not found but its in my path.

I've been having the same "VBoxManage is not found but its in my path." message after my docker and virtualbox installation on Ubuntu 18.04.2, I solved by restarting the PC, after that everything worked fine.
found this one very useful without installing VBoxManage and stuff https://stackoverflow.com/a/42419979/5598315
I'm on linux. That is for mac.

Any progress on this ?? actually for linux ,there is no need to install docker machine. And how VboxManage will be in the path??
If you used snap to install docker, This worked for me.
snap start docker
you might need to use sudo.
After that, i was able to use docker-compose without issues.

this this
works fine for me on 18.04, but now the vm is created under sudo, not working when I try to get rid of sudo.

Follow these steps (worked on Ubuntu 18.04 server):
1- sudo add-apt-repository multiverse && sudo apt update
2- sudo apt install virtualbox
Don't test it in a server, the server has no 'X display'. Then, after installing 'virtualbox' run the docker command:
3- docker-machine create -d virtualbox 'your-virtualbox-name'
If run successfully should see something like this:
(your-virtualbox-name) Image cache directory does not exist, creating it at /your-path/.docker/machine/cache...
(your-virtualbox-name) No default Boot2Docker ISO found locally, downloading the latest release...
(your-virtualbox-name) Latest release for github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker is v19.03.5

I had the same issue on 18.04, and here were the steps I took to resolve it.
- Reinstalled virtualbox
- Renamed VBoxManage to match casing
- Followed this guide to reinstall Docker Machine.
- Reinstalled bash completion scripts in
etc/bash_completion.d/
sudo docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
Can confirm that it works on Ubuntu Desktop 19.10
Same here. This post suggests it may be due to case-sensitivity, but the suggested fix (below) did not solve the issue in my case.
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage /usr/local/bin/vboxmanage
I resolve the issue with
base=https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.16.0 &&
> curl -L $base/docker-machine-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) >/tmp/docker-machine &&
> sudo mv /tmp/docker-machine /usr/local/bin/docker-machine &&
> chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine

For ubuntu 20.04 lts fixed with this too.

Thanks @James-Gilbert- , it worked perfectly on Ubuntu 18.04.1. Nevertheless, every time I open a new terminal a request is sent to the docker container due to the step 4. More precisely the docker-machine-prompt.bash
file is called and the docker-machine
shell prompt opens. How can I prevent this without removing actual/working configuration? My solution as far was to comment the lines from docker-machine-prompt.bash
as follows:
#base=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/machine/v0.16.0
#for i in docker-machine-prompt.bash docker-machine-wrapper.bash docker-machine.bash
#do
# sudo wget "$base/contrib/completion/bash/${i}" -P /etc/bash_completion.d
#done
Note: if docker-machine shell prompt is not expected, I comment the lines. But when I need to work with VBox It is useless to repeat the process every time a new terminal is opened.
Since this is poorly solved, any suggestion will be appreciated.

In my case the problem was that I had installed the virtualbox
via apt
and docker
via snap
. I removed docker
via snap
and reinstalled it using apt
;
I have installed VirtualBox, it is in below path, I am trying to run a command "docker-machine create --driver VirtualBox default" but still getting the same error as above(Seems to be it is the incorrect path). I tried running command after changing dir to below, still not working .could anyone provide the solution for it . pramod@Pramod-VPCEH25EN:/usr/lib/virtualbox$ ls VBoxManage VBoxManage
