Hello everyone,

I'm trying to set up openFOAM according to the tutorial provided by openFOAM website.

I installed virtualbox(Version 5.1.6 r110634 (Qt5.5.1)) and docker (v1.12.1) correctly (at least I think so!)
When asked to run "docker-machine ssh default $HOME/installMacOpenFOAM+ $HOME ", the command gives me the following result (which seems to be working properly):

************************************************** *******

Run the ./startMacOpenFoam+ script to launch container

When I run the "./startMacOpenFoam+" command of the tutorial, I get the following message:
Error response from daemon: No such container: of_v1606_plus
Error: failed to start containers: of_v1606_plus
Error: No such container: of_v1606_plus
(Though the previous command contains a line "Container of_v1606_plus was created")

Indeed, when I check containers with the "docker ps -a" command, I don't get any active (nor inactive container).

I found no information about this error on the web.

Additional information: when I try to re-run the command "docker-machine ssh default $HOME/installMacOpenFOAM+ $HOME", I get the following result:

This indicates that the container does actually exist...

Please let me know what part I've been doing wrong!

Quick answer: My guess, based on the output given, is that there is a conflict somewhere:

1. Either you have accidentally installed two docker systems (which isn't very easy to do).
2. Or the virtual machine that is running the Docker engine is having some communication problems.

You might want to either try restarting the real machine or only restarting the Docker VM (open VirtualBox and it will show you the list of available VMs, running or not).

Hello,

Thank you for your quick response!
I tried restarting both machines (real and virtual), unfortunately I get the same problem.
"./startMacOpenFOAM+ " still gives me :
Error response from daemon: No such container: of_v1606_plus
Error: failed to start containers: of_v1606_plus
Error: No such container: of_v1606_plus

Whereas retrying the install command :
"docker-machine ssh default $HOME/installMacOpenFOAM+ $HOME" still gives me a conflict with the existing container:
Creating Docker OpenFOAM+ container of_v1606_plus
docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The name "/of_v1606_plus" is already in use by container 6702ec5deca85076fcdbcbe33a486f66bb4c7be66d46392610 b79c19e8ebc44a. You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name..
See 'docker run --help'.

I guess I'm not good enough to have installed two docker systems

Any ideas?

Quick answer: Hold on, then what do you get if you run it like this?

docker-machine ssh default $HOME/startMacOpenFoam+ $HOME

It doesn't seem to make much sense to me, but still...
