• I have tried with the latest version of my channel (Stable or Edge)
• I have submitted Diagnostics
• I have included the Diagnostics ID in this Issue

Expected behavior

Expected Docker to restart after downloading and installing the latest version.

Actual behavior

After downloading and installing the latest version of Docker
I get the following error message each time I try to restart Docker:

Fatal Error
com.docker.supervisor failed to start
Exit code 1

I tried "Reset Docker to factory defaults" but the result is the same.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Docker 17.12 was installed (and working fine) and the automatic updater announced that 18.03 was available, do I want to install it
2. Click download and install and the error follows ...

Hi @nsecord, unfortunately this is dues to the socket file name hitting a size limit, partly because your user home folder is in /Volumes/Macintosh_HD/Users rather that straight /Users/... (See https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/367012/128332).
In the current release, this folder used for vm files is not configurable, the workaround would be change your home folder location, or maybe rename normansecord to something shorter (you're just above the size limit for the full filename).

[gtardif]

To help us make the error message clearer, could you post a screenshot of the error popup you got ?
We'll see how to make this path for VM files configurable

[gtardif]

@mirestrepo Actually looking at your diagnostics, your issue is a duplicate of #2739, we're looking into it ; "Reset to factory defaults" should fix your case, if you can do this.

[nsecord]

@gtardif: Thanks for your response. Attached is the requested screenshot.

This is a bit of a bizarre issue for me that I haven't run across before.

Can you clarify for me: the path that is causing the error is $HOME/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux ?
If I add my home path to this I get something that is 112 characters long. According to the StackExchange issue you pointed to, the path length needs to be less than 104 characters so I need to shorten things considerably, possibly redo the whole mount point for my user directory. That's going to take a little bit of thought and some serious backups.

Everything was running fine on 17.12.1. I was looking for a link to try to roll back to that for the moment but I haven't found one. Any suggestions?

Hey there @nsecord, I stumbled on a same problem as you (user profiles on external disk, ergo home path too long thrown). I found older versions of Docker here.

[nsecord]

Thanks @bandrejx !!

@mirestrepo Your issue is due to a problem when migrating straight from 17.09 to 18.03.
It should be fixed with the latest Docker for Mac 18.03.0-mac60 Stable release (you can download at https://download.docker.com/mac/stable/Docker.dmg)

[akimd]

Hi people,

We believe that the Stable release we are about to make fixes the issues wrt socket name length (https://github.com/docker/pinata/pull/9241). Could someone check that this preview actually helps you? Thanks in advance!

https://download.docker.com/mac/stable/24214/Docker.dmg

[gtardif]

This has been fixed with Edge version 18.05.0-ce-rc1-mac63 and Stable version 18.03.1-ce-mac64.
