While setting up a local network via cmd, I am currently encountering the following docker issue :

docker: Error response from daemon: invalid volume specification: 
'/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock'.

UPDATE

C:\Users\user_name>docker run --rm -v "C:\Users\user_name\.fabric-
vscode\environments\1 Org Local Fabric":/network -v 
/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --network host 
ibmblockchain/vscode-prereqs:0.0.16 ansible-playbook /network/playbook.yml
docker: Error response from daemon: invalid volume specification:

and thus look for suggestions to overcome this setup issue.

  • I think if you use Docker for Windows (with linux containers) this might fix the problem - can you give that a go and report back? – Jake Nov 16 '20 at 10:29
  • @Jake: I think that the adequate Docker version (v.19.03.8) has been used, since ```docker run -it bash ubuntu``` does work, downloading the newer image for ubuntu. – dark.vador Nov 16 '20 at 13:47
  • @david_k: Microsoft ```Windows version 1909``` (```OS Build 18363.1198```) ```Pro```. ```cmd docker version``` leads to ```Client: Docker Engine - Community Version: 19.03.8 API version: 1.40 Go version: go1.12.17 Git commit: afacb8b Built: Wed Mar 11 01:23:10 2020 OS/Arch: windows/amd64 Experimental: true``` – dark.vador Nov 16 '20 at 18:05
  • Can you provide more detail about your environment ? What version of windows are you using, Are you using Docker for Windows or DockerToolbox (one uses hyper-v while the other uses virtualbox) ? If so which version, for example my version is 2.5.0.1 which was displayed when I installed the docker for windows version. Make sure you aren't using docker toolbox as this won't work. – david_k Nov 16 '20 at 18:05
  • @david_k: done (see above), hoping that it helps. – dark.vador Nov 16 '20 at 18:09

    @dark.vador Unfortunately the output of the cli command doesn't tell me which version of docker you are actually using whether it's docker toolbox or docker desktop and what actual release. I would recommend using WSL2 for your docker environment and a description of how to can be found here https://davidkel.github.io/docs/vscode/windows.html. This will mean installing a set up updates for windows and the edge release of docker desktop (as you aren't at windows feature release 2004 as yet). But WSL2 makes using Docker on windows a much better experience – david_k Nov 16 '20 at 19:32
  • You should be able to get the latest edge version here https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows/ – david_k Nov 16 '20 at 19:33

    @david_k: Extremely grateful David! Thanks a lot, since your latest feedback did help me in sorting this issue out. – dark.vador Nov 17 '20 at 11:11
