Docker commands do not respond anymore

Question

Most of docker commands never end. I have to interrupt them manually with CTRL+C. Even simple commands like docker ps or docker info do not respond.

Answer 1

I had the same problem (commands not responding) and I fix it by increasing the resources allocated to Docker.

Docker Desktop -> Preferences -> Advanced

In my case, I increased:

• Memory from 2GB to 8GB
• Swap from 1GB to 2GB

Try different values according with your machine.
