moby: Exception when calling docker daemon commands in Windows

Actual behavior

Docker throws an exception everytime I run a command that accesses the daemon (e.g. docker -v works since it’s client-side only).

Information

Diagnostic ID: AD497577-51CA-4C56-B6F8-08A16B9710EC/2016-10-11_08-39-38
Second Diagnostic ID: D5D7C5E8-58B0-4E45-A45D-DFED839BEFB1/2016-10-11_14-50-44
a reproducible case: it happens everytime, cannot use Docker at this moment
host distribution and version (Windows version, build number, etc): Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Things I tried

I tried re-installing docker, ran “Reset to factory defaults”, restart, nothing worked, I get the same exception all the time. Also tried switching from beta to stable and back to beta, nothing changes here as well. I’m using PowerShell (with and without Administrator), and also tried cmd.exe, all the same.

Go - Windows issue

Apparently this is a Go - Windows issue, and it’s actually reported in a few places like https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/3432 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/13541. I think this is related to kernel32.dll, and the problem is originating in Microsoft/go-winio:zsyscall.go#L88

I encountered a similar Exception when I ran one of my own tools written in Go (using Cgo), but it only happened the first time. Second time (and then on) it worked without problems, unlike docker which fails every time the daemon is called by a client command.

I originally reported this issue here https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/140 but, as noted, I added it here as well for tracking purposes.

I uninstalled Web Companion by Lavasoft and now docker is working 100% fine. How about that

mcking49 on Feb 8, 2017

Steps I took to get docker working This was definitely a fluke and by no means a solution but it might help some other people out there that are still experiencing this problem, and it might help the developers figure out a potential fix somewhere along in the steps i took.

Running any docker command I would get the original error.

I then went to Task Manager -> Services tab -> com.docker.service, right click and restart.

I ran the command docker version and got the following:

I then tried running DockerCli.exe (found in “C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe”) as an admin by right clicking -> properties -> compatibility -> tick “run this program as an administrator”. I did the same for dockerd.exe (found in “C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\dockerd.exe”)

Running docker version still gave me the same error.

I restarted Docker for Windows from the system tray by right-clicking on the docker icon -> settings -> reset -> restart docker…

Still same issue running docker version.

After searching online I tried running $env:DOCKER_HOST="tcp://localhost:2375" which then I got the following error:

I then decided to just give up and try reproduce the original issue again by resetting docker back to factory default settings by right-clicking the icon in the system tray -> settings -> reset -> reset to factory defaults…

Then I decided to run docker version to check what was happening and surprisingly it worked properly so I tried docker ps which also works fine. So now docker seems to be working without issues 😃

Hope this helps someone else having the same problem as me and/or helps the developers fix this bug!

Uninstalling WebCompanion fixed Docker on Windows 10

allanmunroza on May 25, 2017

OK, that confirms it. Thanks for your patience and assisting root causing this. TBH, I’m not sure whether to “fix” docker by looking to see if there is a non-IFS BSP or LSP installed and skip FILE_SKIP_COMPLETION_PORT_ON_SUCCESS, or not. Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavasoft, it sounds like alerting people to malware by failing might be a better solution… 😇

lowenna on Feb 8, 2017

OMG, just found out that WebCompanion was installed on my PC, too. Deleted it - and now Docker seems to be working fine.

Thanks to @clns, running & "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin\docker.exe" -D -H tcp://127.0.0.1:2375 helped me to come up with this solution.

This is a hack for anyone whose is still having issues.

Make sure docker (host) is running.
You can create an alias to the docker client and use it to talk to docker host.

So in my case I created a file dockerish.cmd and put in the content

@echo off DOSKEY dk= “C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin\docker.exe” -D -H tcp://127.0.0.1:2375 $* dockerish

Note don’t forget the $ * Then add the file to registry

Hit start and type run. In the box that appears, type regedit and press ok.

windows

run

When the registry editor opens, go to Computer -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER ->SOFTWARE -> MICROSOFT ->COMMAND PROCESSOR.

Right Click on command processor -> NEW ->STRING VALUE.

Type Autorun as the key.

autorun

After right click on the key you just entered and select modify

In the value’s box enter the location to the script file and click ok.

The doskey created should now be available to and any cmd you open. (NOTE U CANNOT RUN IT POWER SHELL directly, u would have to run cmd in power shell first).

-open cmd in administrator mode

so now if u type dk info you should get something like the following,

All docker commands now become dk followed by arguments

Example docker ps become dk ps

below is my screen after installing redis redis

Hope it helps someone.

selasiehanson on Feb 1, 2017

I’ve been experiencing the same issue as the original post. I’ve tried everything mentioned in this thread and nothing seems to work. I can’t try reinstalling windows as this is a work computer. I have noticed though that this version of Windows 10 Pro is an upgraded version from Windows 7 Pro and was upgraded using the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant. Would this have any link as to why docker isn’t working? Anyone else also using an upgraded os?
