I am trying to use docker in Windows 10 Home.
During install (in the Virtual Box part) I get an error:
Cannot rename this connection. A connection with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different name.
This can be closed and the installation continues.
However, when I click the quick start (start.sh) I get the following error:
Starting "default"... (default) Check network to re-create if needed... Unable to start the VM: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe startvm default --type headless failed: VBoxManage.exe: error: The virtual machine 'default' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'C:\Users*****.docker\machine\machines\default\default\Logs\VBoxHardening.log VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine Looks like something went wrong in step ´Checking status on default´... Press any key to continue...
This error is already as an Issue for toolbox but the solutions that worked for some people didn't for me:
.docker directory (in C:\Users\<user.name>\.docker);I've managed to surpass this error with the help of this answer:
Step 1: Download and install https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/14040/VBox-Win10-fix-14040.exe and leave it running in the background
Step 2: Head to the Virtual box program files (probably: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox).
Step 3: Go to compatibility for these three .exe ( Virtualbox.exe, VBoxHeadless.exe, and VBoxManage.exe ) and choose windows 7.
Run quick start and it works.
I'm not sure this was solely responsible for the solution because before this I also did:
.docker directory (in C:\Users\<user.name>\.docker);
