Cannot run site locally on macOS using Multipass and dotrun snap

[barrymcgee]

• I followed @hatched's instructions and have setup Multipass on my macOS machine.
• I shell into my Multipass instance and clone this repo
• I cd into the project root and run docker-compose up -d

I hit this error:

ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon - you might need to run docker-machine start default.

I then run that suggested command, and see this message;

Docker machine "default" does not exist. Use "docker-machine ls" to list machines. Use "docker-machine create" to add a new one.

I then run the suggested action docker-machine create default and I get this error:

Error with pre-create check: "VBoxManage not found. Make sure VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path"

Now I be like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@bethcollins92 I used this solution to work around it. It's not great, but it is a VM, so I think it should be fine

@carkod So I recreated my Multipass instance using 18.04 and ran through all the setup steps again, this time installing docker-machine using curl instead of via a snap - but still hit the same error when running dotrun in the root of ubuntu.com

As a wider point, we seem to be now in a place having moved from ./run to dotrun where this repo can only be easily run locally by developers running Linux. The README does not even explicit state that in the Getting Started.

Ok. But that is something else. Did you guys manage to install docker-compose with the workaround I provided? If docker-compose is installed, check with docker-compose --version. Then please do docker-compose up -d in the ubuntu.com project folder and after that, dotrun.

This issue with docker-compose is only going to happen with ubuntu.com project. Other projects don't need a database, so you don't even need docker-compose

No, your link was to install docker-machine, not docker-compose.

I setup a new multipass instance again, and installed docker-compose using cURL.

Running docker-compose up -d still throws an error.

docker-compose --version

Fran fixed this for MacOS in the maintenance sprint
