Docker not working in Vertex AI 'managed' workbench notebook

[aela]

Hello,

I try to run a Docker command ("docker ps" for instance) in Workbench user-managed notebook, it works.

When I try to run the same thing in a managed Workbench instance, I get 

No such file or directory: 'docker': 'docker'

Could you please help?

Thanks!

Hi @aela, 

The error message you are getting signifies that the docker command is missing, this means that either the docker daemon is not active or the docker binary is not also included in your machine.

Here are a few things to consider:

• Be sure to have the right permissions to run the Docker command.
• Try restarting your computer.
• Try reinstalling the Docker daemon and the Docker binary.

You can also review your cloud logs to see if there are errors causing the dockers not to work or you can read through this troubleshooting guide. I have also found a StackOverflow post which you might find helpful.
