Docker for mac crashes again after latest macOS update

[marcelloromani]

• I have tried with the latest version of my channel (Stable or Edge)

Restarted the mac after OS update: as I don't have Docker launch at startup, I manually launched it.
The Docker Update popup came up: wether I choose "Apply update" or "Remind me later" doesn't make any difference: docker starts and shortly after crashes.

• I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID: FDEB2B36-9E22-4A62-BD46-4B8E43938271/20190828164816

Expected behavior

Docker for mac starts and works normally.

Actual behavior

Docker for mac starts, I am able to perform some commands (like docker pull, docker-compose run --rm <something> etc. but after a few minutes the server crashes.
Didn't do any exact measurements but I reckon it stays up between 1 and 2 minutes before crashing.

Information

• macOS Version: 10.14.6 (18G95)
• docker version:

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

Maintainers: please remove the label version/10.14.6 as it's misleading.

The crash happened also during an "image pull"

Deleted docker for mac, downloaded fresh copy from dockerhub, installed it.

Same buggy behaviour observed.

Now Docker for Mac crashes after a couple minutes even without being used.
This is a blocker for me.

Have to revert to docker-machine, which is quite annoying.

Same issues for me. Same Mac OS version. But I cannot even run Troubleshooting. It crashes in a minute after start.

HI Have this issue too :( Is there a way to locate older dmg files to rollback the version?

I recently reported the same issue and the only solution was to remove the docker and install an earlier version.

Hi. I'm also seeing sporadic crashes on Mac docker 19.03 series.
docker build command works fine for a few minutes, then randomly freezes.

Simplest reproducible code is:

for i in $(seq 100); do echo $i; echo FROM alpine | docker build -; done

This code runs fine on other *nixes, but only on a Mac it results in sporadic crashes.
today it froze at around every 15th execution. (ctrl-C kills the process and continues, then freeze again). Number of times it takes before crasheing seems random to me.

I have some batch scripts that regularly rebuilds containers, for now reverting to v.18 series.
I wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same symptoms.

Having the same issue, Docker for Mac v2.1.0.3 crashing after a minute. Is anybody working on that, or shall I migrate to a docker-machine?
