II - pycharm docker configuration

Otherwise it could be due to your docker machine configuration in PyCharm.

What I do to configure my machine and to be sure this one is correctly configured:

1 - run docker-machine ls in your shell

2 - copy paste the url without tcp://

3 - go to pycharm preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployement -> Docker -> + to create a new server, fill the server name field

4 - paste previously copied url keeping https://

5 - fill the path of your machine certificates folder

6 - tick Import credentials from Docker Machine

7 - click Detect -> your machine should appear in the selection list

8 - save this server

9 - select this server when configuring your remote interpreter, from PyCharm Preferences -> Project -> Project Interpreter -> wheel -> add remote -> Docker or Docker Compose
