[OpenFOAM.com] Container already in use, but can't find the container

Jasmijn · August 1, 2018, 13:55

Hello,

I'm trying to get openfoam to work, but this is the error I get in OF_Env_Create;

docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/of_1806" is already in use by container "527d6812cd413e1a6e8bbc3afce2bbc24154570e6301f18d9 9c0eec3a07ec37a". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.

I can't find the container. How do I solve this problem?

Thanks!

Quick answer: I don't know if you've managed to solve this problem, but if not, it should be possible to remove that container by running:

Code:

docker rmi 527d6812cd413e1

The other possibility is that the name "/of_1806" is problematic, because it starts with a forward slash "/".

If you still have problems with this, you may want to try to ask about this at https://develop.openfoam.com/Develop...AM-plus/issues
