Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation [ boot2docker under xhyve ]

[codekitchen]

It looks like this is now fixed upstream with boot2docker v18.09.1, and the workaround is no longer necessary.

[alexbrebu]

Temporary workaround:
✅: dinghy create --provider=xhyve --cpus=${cpus:-3} --memory=${memory:-4096} --disk=${disk:-40000} --boot2docker-url=https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/releases/download/v18.06.1-ce/boot2docker.iso
🚀: eval $(dinghy env)

Yes i can reproduce that. But i thing this is a problem with ne driver and boot2docker

[codekitchen]

This does look like a problem with boot2docker or the xhyve driver. Do you get the same error if you do a docker-machine create -d xhyve directly?

On your workaround, was there a particular reason that you chose the v18.06.1-ce boot2docker version? I'm curious why that would fix it.

If this does happen when running docker-machine create directly also, I'd recommend reporting it to the docker-machine-driver-xhyve project. I'll see if I can repro as well.

[alexbrebu]

I did docker-machine create -d "xhyve" theMachine directly.

Workaround came as v18.06.1-ce boot2docker was the last version that I remembered I had tried before and worked.

Have you succeeded to repro?

[codekitchen]

I am able to successfully repro, and I found this existing issue in the docker-machine-driver-xhyve project for the issue: machine-drivers/docker-machine-driver-xhyve#211

It sounds like it has already been fixed upstream and the fix will be in the next boot2docker release, so your workaround is the best option for now.

[beardcoder]

Yes it will work with

dinghy create --memory=8000 --cpus=4 --disk=100000 --provider=xhyve --boot2docker_url="https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/releases/download/v18.09.1-rc1/boot2docker.iso"
