Default machine image does not exist

[khast3x]

Using the vanilla formula from documentation:

user@bigpc ~> docker-machine create -d scaleway my-scaleway-docker-machine
Running pre-create checks...
Creating machine...
(my-scaleway-docker-machine) Creating SSH key...
(my-scaleway-docker-machine) Creating server...
Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: No such image (zone par1, arch x86_64) : ubuntu-xenial

I think you didn't specify the id of the image you want to use. You can obtain the available image id using the following command:

$ curl  -H "X-Auth-Token: $SCW_TOKEN" https://cp-par1.scaleway.com/images\?name\="ubuntu trusty"

Images are scoped to a given region. You would get a different id for a different region. Let me know if you have additional questions. I get the following command when I run it on my laptop:

$ docker-machine create -d scaleway my-scaleway-docker-machine
Running pre-create checks...
Creating machine...
(my-scaleway-docker-machine) Creating SSH key...
(my-scaleway-docker-machine) Creating server...
Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: Too many candidates for ubuntu-xenial (2)

Thanks for the heads up and taking the time to explain.
Is it planned to be simplified in the future?
Best,

Yes, it will be simplified it is on my todo list. :)
