Just "errors" when I try to run DevKinsta on ubuntu 20.04LTS

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 ls went 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 by sudo 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.
