[SOLVED] Why I got an error while trying to use Minikube as Docker Desktop on Windows?

Why I got an error while trying to use Minikube as Docker Desktop on Windows?

I have Windows.

I have tried to set up minikube as Docker Desktop and followed the instruction : https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tutorials/docker_desktop_replacement/

I do not see any errors in cmd.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>minikube start --container-runtime=docker --vm=true
* minikube v1.28.0 on Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.18363 Build 18363
* Using the hyperv driver based on existing profile
* Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube
* Restarting existing hyperv VM for "minikube" ...
* Preparing Kubernetes v1.25.3 on Docker 20.10.20 ...
* Verifying Kubernetes components...
  - Using image gcr.io/k8s-minikube/storage-provisioner:v5
* Enabled addons: storage-provisioner, default-storageclass
* Done! kubectl is now configured to use "minikube" cluster and "default" namespace by default

docker --version also works fine.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>docker --version
Docker version 20.10.21, build baeda1f

However when I try to do docker compose up I got an error: error during connect

d:\projects\ui-tests>docker compose up
error during connect: this error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running: Get "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/containers/json?all=1&filters=%7B%22label%22%3A%7B%22com.docker.compose.project%3Dui-tests%22%3Atrue%7D%7D": open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified.

Can someone help with that?

UPD1:

I have run this command in cmd, but there was no output(do not know if it is ok):

C:\WINDOWS\system32>@FOR /f "tokens=*" %i IN ('minikube -p minikube docker-env --shell cmd') DO @%i

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Solution

I was not able to resole this problem. Rancher desktop was chosen instead
