MacOS Docker Engine Refusing to Start ​

A handful of times I've ran into a problem where docker engine refuses to start. Currently the only way I have found to fix this is to reset your docker instance.

DANGER

You will lose all docker data. Containers, Images, Builds, Everything.

sh
rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.*
rm -rf ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Docker\ Desktop

Endpoint already exists in network ​

Recently I have managed to corrupt my local docker network state. I believe it may have been due to force stopping/removing projects via the OrbStack interface. And have been having issues attempting to restart containers with the following message, despite having no relevant container running.

Error response from daemon: endpoint with name project-varnish-1 already exists in network project_default

To resolve this, we can forcefully remove the endpoint/container from the docker network with the following command. Followed by restarting the compose environment.

sh
docker network disconnect -f <network name> <container name>
