At this point I might look like a psychopath but I finally figured out a way to run it.
I was running the engine instead of desktop because on desktop I would just get the DK0004 error and the only suggestion I found is - switch to engine.
After 5+ attempts with engine I decided that going back to desktop would be worth a try and as I expected - I was greeted by a DK0004 error that wouldn’t dissapear no matter what I do restart, run, rerun - you name it.
NOW! I decided to go in to the Kinsta file and dag out that the DevKinsta was trying to run an nonexistent file after what I decided to go to Docker Desktop setting and found that the build it was running was Desktop-Linux instead of default while default was showing:
“Builder error: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock”
So what I did is:
- I checked the
docker context lswent to /var/run and didn’t find any docker.sock - Created a Symbolic Link : assuming that DevKinsta was looking for Docker at the default
/var/run/docker.sock, I created a symbolic link to point to the actual Docker socket used bysudo ln -s /home/nexus/.docker/desktop/docker.sock /var/run/docker.sock
And now waiting for the download with my fingers crossed.
I think you should start adding possible solutions in the https://kinsta.com/docs/devkinsta/devkinsta-troubleshooting/error-codes page as currently it’s as useless as it could only be - just duplicating the errors thrown by the client itself.
Cheers
