Docker daemon not running in Docker toolbox

Question

I created a sample microservice application with war file. After that I installed Docker tool box. Then I created sample Dockerfile and trying to build image using Docker toolbox quick start terminal.

I changed directory to project root directory, and ran the following command:

docker build -t "dockerDemo" .

And getting error like Docker daemon is not running.

And also I run the following commands:

docker run hello-world
docker-machine ls

I am getting following results screens.

I am now just started with containers and Docker concept. How can I solve this?

Is docker setup complete? Try the following command **docker run hello-world** — Anunay, Feb 01 '18 at 06:42
yes. Run the command the same error getting. I updated in question.Can you please check? — Mr.DevEng, Feb 01 '18 at 08:40
looks like an UAC error. Run the docker-daemon as administrator and try again — Thomas Schwärzl, Feb 01 '18 at 08:44
unfortunately the only solution is to remove the vm and recreate it `$ docker-machine rm default $ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default` — andolsi zied, Feb 01 '18 at 10:25
Did you saw my updated result of both command as screen shot? — Mr.DevEng, Feb 01 '18 at 10:29
Actually I have a remote server . I installed docker toolbox on that. The updated screenshot is my local machine. Now I am trying on my local windows 10 Home machine and getting result like above image.Can you check ? — Mr.DevEng, Feb 01 '18 at 10:33

According to your screenshots, it's a pretty common issue. Unfortunately the only solution is to remove the vm and recreate it. You can find more details in this issue.

$ docker-machine rm default
$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default

Delete de Docker toolbox virtualbox vm. It is usually named "default". Close and open again the docker console, it will create again the vm automatically. Then try again.
