Error detecting OS: Too many retries waiting for SSH to be available.

[pascalandy]

Trying to create a machine but I'm stuck with this SSH error.

I re-enter my ssh key in my credentials and it is still the same.

~|⇒ docker-machine create -d scaleway \
> --scaleway-token="$TOKEN" \
> --scaleway-organization="$ORG" \
> --scaleway-name="SVR-98746" \
> --scaleway-commercial-type="VC1S" \
> --scaleway-image="f12312312" \
> --scaleway-user="theuser" \
> SVR-98746

Error creating machine: Error detecting OS: Too many retries waiting for SSH to be available.  Last error: Maximum number of retries (60) exceeded

I also Had a similar error on using the docker-machine generic driver.

Hope you can help.

Thank you!

Below is the most basic request and have another kind of issue

~|⇒ docker-machine create -d scaleway my-scaleway-docker-machine
Host already exists: "my-scaleway-docker-machine"
~|⇒ docker-machine create -d scaleway test33

Error creating machine: Error checking the host: Error checking and/or regenerating the certs: There was an error validating certificates for host "163.172.161.204:2376": dial tcp 163.172.161.204:2376: i/o timeout
You can attempt to regenerate them using 'docker-machine regenerate-certs [name]'.
Be advised that this will trigger a Docker daemon restart which will stop running containers.

I desperately want to run a Docker Swarm ... Thank you

It's worth mentionning that in SCW GUI, the servers are up.

@pascalandy It is worth mentioning that in my AWS VPC I ran into the same issue because my instances were ONLY reachable via a private IP (and by default the AWS driver uses the public IP). I had to use the --amazonec2-private-address-only flag to fix my issue.

This doesn't seem to be the issue on Scaleway. I tested with and without the "--scaleway" parameter and it works. However, if your issue persist, you might want to deploy from a node inside your private network.

Now working! This is my template
