Hi @abhishek Welcome to the Kinsta Community!
I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with running DevKinsta.
Are you able to provide a screenshot of your screen and provide the following information?
DevKinsta Version:
OS Version:
Docker Desktop Version:
Also, have you tried doing this?
Open Docker Desktop, and go to Settings → Advanced , see if the checkbox is enabled for the “Allow the default Docker socket to be used (requires password)” ?
If it doesn’t work, please close DevKinsta completely, then enable that checkbox mentioned above, and quit Docker and open DevKinsta again.
Please let me know if that helps. I will wait for your update.
Thank you.
Hey @merineth,
DevKinsta Version: 2.13.4
OS Version: sequoia 15.2
Docker Desktop Version: 4.37.2
Yes I have tried Allow the default Docker socket to be used (requires password)
, but unfortunately that did not help
Hi @abhishek! Thank you for your reply.
We would like to review the log information being generated by DevKinsta during the startup process. This information can help point us in the direction of the root cause of the issue. Could you please send me a direct/private message that has a copy of the main.log file generated by DevKinsta attached? This log file can be found in the “/Users//Library/Logs/DevKinsta” directory.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Hi @abhishek! Thank you for sending me the main.log file!
I have reviewed the log and I see DevKinsta is experiencing an issue with connecting to the Docker socket file. I would like to ensure the proper symlink is setup for this file. If you could please run the following command in a Terminal on your system to setup the symlink:
sudo ln -s “$HOME/.docker/run/docker.sock” /var/run/docker.sock
You will be prompted for the administrator password. If your user is an administrator you may enter your password. After running this command it should simply run silently and take you back to a prompt after it has completed running.
Once this symlink has been setup please try fully exiting DevKinsta and relaunching it to see if it can now connect to Docker properly.
Please let us know if this helps. We are looking forward to hearing back from you!
Hey @Andrew ,
Thanks a lot, I tried created symlink and it did not help me, I am still facing same issue.
Hello Abishek
Since the symlinks solution didn’t work, did you try backing up the sites in DevKinsta and reinstalling it and Docker completely?
Kind regards
