@Christian_Walker, please check if there are warnings in Docker Desktop, and then click “Repair” or “Reapply Configuration” if you see them. Once clicked, that should ideally trigger the pop authentication you used to see when running actions in DevKinsta.

> Hi @aaj Please check for warnings or notifications in Docker Desktop and click the “Reapply Configuration” or “Repair” button if you see them. Hopefully, this will fix the issue. If the issue persists, please provide the following information so we can better assist you. DevKinsta Version: OS Version: Docker Desktop Version: DevKinsta main.log: This is usually stored at ~Library/Logs/DevKinsta directory.

If that doesn’t work, please send us an updated copy of your main.log file.

Thanks!
