Hi @Sneha-Reddy975

I've had this before myself and I'd just like to check, is Docker running?

[Sneha-Reddy975]

Hi @spurin

It wasn't running when i executed this command. Now i started it , and can see the exceptions are cleared. I guess that was the issue. Thanks

[spurin]

Awesome,

Glad it's resolved @Sneha-Reddy975

This issue frustrates me ... it's so confusing and the Docker output poses no clear indication of the problem. I may try and see if I can raise this as an issue with docker(-compose) if it hasn't been raised already :-)

[Sneha-Reddy975]

Yes you are right. Can you please tell me what's the issue here.

Hi @Sneha-Reddy975

Have re-opened the issue so we can track this. Could you please tell me what your version of Windows is (Start / Run / winver)

Also, did you install Docker or was Docker already installed. If you had Docker already installed, what version is it?

Thanks!

[Sneha-Reddy975]

Hi @spurin

I am using Windows 10 version and i have installed docker 20.10.5 following your instructions in Dive Into Ansible - From Beginner to Expert in Ansible learning module

[Sneha-Reddy975]

And it's Start

[Sneha-Reddy975]

Hi @spurin Any update on this error.

[spurin]

Hi @Sneha-Reddy975

My apologies, I lost track on this one where I thought we'd resolved it.

When you installed Docker, did you do it via Docker Desktop or some other way?

Also, what is your version of Windows with patch please?

[Sneha-Reddy975]

Hi @spurin I installed Docker via Docker Desktop I am using the 64-bit version of Windows

[spurin]

There's something not right here and I think it's related to your version of Windows. I need some more specifics to troubleshoot this further. Can you please click Start, choose Run and enter Winver. If you can provide a screenshot of the output that would be great, otherwise share with me the Version XXXX (OS Build XXXXX.XXX) Information.

Thanks!

[Sneha-Reddy975]

[spurin]

Thanks @Sneha-Reddy975

This helps a lot. I'm guessing this is a company system?

Unfortunately and annoyingly, this version of Windows is quite old, technically it's unsupported now and the version of WSL (WSL1) that Docker uses can cause some problems.

If it's possible to do a windows update that would fix it but, that itself has its own risks (especially if it's a corporate system).

I have another version of the lab environment that we can run in a virtual machine (it's essentially a vm with Docker installed). I've just recently created this and I think it's perfect for the situation you're in.

Are you able to install and run Virtualbox on your machine?

If so, I could guide you through this setup.

Thanks

James

[Sneha-Reddy975]

Yes I am using a company system. We can try this virtual machine.

Thanks @spurin

Hi @Sneha-Reddy975

Am just uploading the image for you, it will be available from here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/8tmyrt69cfh76yj/Dive%20Into%20Ansible.zip?dl=0

Could you download, unzip and then double click either the .vbox or .vdi file

Once that's done, could you click settings, goto network and choose Port Forwarding, then share with me what you see as a screenshot. I'm hoping that the port forwarding settings are retained upon import, otherwise I'll help you add the appropriate values.

Thanks

[Sneha-Reddy975]

Hi @spurin The downloading part is complete but i don't see the Port Forwarding option in my network settings.

[spurin]

Hi @Sneha-Reddy975

Sorry, I'm referring to the settings of the virtual machine, within virtualbox you should be able to choose settings, network, port forwarding.

It may be slightly different on Windows but this is roughly where to look.

Thanks

[Sneha-Reddy975]

Hi @spurin Sorry, got stuck up in other works. Okay i got your point .

[Sneha-Reddy975]

Thanks @spurin

The issue is resolved. The lab environment in virtual machine is working fine.
