Docker Installation and Configuration Issues

Based on your log output, the Torizon IDE extension is encountering two main Docker-related issues during initialization:

Primary Issues Identified

  1. Docker daemon not running: The log shows ERROR :: Docker is not running. Please start the Docker runtime daemon
  2. Docker Compose missing: The log indicates ERROR :: Docker compose is not installed

Resolution Steps

1. Start Docker Daemon

First, ensure Docker is running on your system. The method depends on your operating system:

  • Linux: Start Docker service with sudo systemctl start docker
  • Windows/macOS: Start Docker Desktop application

2. Install Docker Compose

The extension requires Docker Compose to be installed. Based on the community discussions, ensure you have the correct Docker setup (1).

3. Verify Docker Installation

After starting Docker, verify it’s working by running basic Docker commands from your terminal (2):

# docker

(2)

This should display the list of Docker commands if properly installed.

4. Check Docker Configuration

The log also mentions Error scanning devices: Not possible to get docker network gateway, which suggests network configuration issues. Ensure Docker networking is properly configured and accessible.

Important Note About Docker Setup

Based on community feedback, it’s recommended to use either Docker Desktop OR Docker Engine in WSL2, but not both simultaneously, as this can cause conflicts with the VS Code extension (1).

Next Steps

  1. Start your Docker daemon
  2. Install Docker Compose if missing
  3. Restart VS Code and try initializing the Torizon IDE extension again
  4. If issues persist, verify your Docker installation can run basic commands

The extension should initialize successfully once Docker is properly running and configured.
