Docker machine timeout - how to fix without destroying the machine?

Question

I\'m having a recurring problem with Docker Machine - every few days it decides to timeout and I am unable to recover it once this happens.

Example

Answer 1

This is usually a problem related to the way you start and stop your machine.

You can solve it using

1. $ docker-machine stop default
2. $ docker-machine start default
3. $ docker-machine regenerate-certs default

Do not use docker-machine restart default because it will not refresh your networking configs.
