Error creating controller. Please check Docker is running using `docker ps`.

[vittoriopapa]

Describe the bug

I run correctly Open Devin and I can see the frontend but I can't send massage to the bot because he sad "starting new task..." "No agent started. Please wait a second...". After the first message "Hi! I'm OpenDevin, an AI Software Engineer. What would you like to build with me today?" he replaced with "Error creating controller. Please check Docker is running using docker ps.". Docker is actually running so I can't understen the error. I tried to restart pc and re-install docker, I check the version and if is running with docker ps but it doesn't work enough.

Setup and configuration

Current version: 0.1.0

Commands I ran to install and run OpenDevin: make build make setup-config make run

Thanks for raising. I'm getting a similar issue. I've tried to troubleshoot; here's what I could find:

Confirmed Docker and SSH: Like above, Docker is running (docker ps shows the sandbox), and a manual SSH attempt fails ("Connection refused"). Inside the Sandbox: I accessed the sandbox with docker exec -it /bin/bash. systemctl is unavailable, suggesting systemd isn't used. /etc/ssh/sshd_config appears standard.

Questions:

Service Management: How do I check SSH server status, start, stop, and restart it within the OpenDevin sandbox? (Haven't seen this addressed in the thread yet) Logs: Where would I find logs related to the SSH server within the sandbox environment?

I get the same. I think there is already an other open issue about this.

[sinpsarkar]

I have run into the exact same issue after a fresh pull and "make build". Please advise!

[anthonyyoussef01]

ran into the same error

Hey all--we just merged a possible fix. Try adding SANDBOX_TYPE=exec to your config.toml

[enyst]

All: please update git pull, a solution for these issues has just been merged. Set SANDBOX_TYPE to 'exec', in the config.toml file, if you need the older version of container which worked for your installation.

[CypherpunkSamurai]

thanks. I was just looking for a fix and found out this was updated 1 hour ago lol 👍🏼

[anthonyyoussef01]

I am still having the same error:

@anthonyyoussef01 add to your config.toml file: SANDBOX_TYPE='exec'

[eddienews-dev]

@anthonyyoussef01 Check out https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin/issues/911 for other solution. Key to get it to work for me was uninstalling Docker and reinstalling via WSL.

I add SANDBOX_TYPE=exec but If I start "make run" I have this error

[vittoriopapa]

Ok now is working. I uninstall Docker on my pc and I re-install on WSL, the link between docker desktop and wsl doesn't work.

[zhoumzh]

SANDBOX_TYPE="exec" like this? or SANDBOX_TYPE=exec? in config.toml

You're on a Mac? You can install Docker Desktop and simply start it, then opendevin can do its thing. If you have more trouble, please open a new issue with the details of your setup.

[anthonyyoussef01]

This worked, thank you!

@anthonyyoussef01 Check out #911 for other solution. Key to get it to work for me was uninstalling Docker and reinstalling via WSL.

This worked Thank you!

Hello. I launch Docker and open OpenDevin at “http://localhost:3000/index.html”. The OpenDevin interface itself displays normally, but it says "Error creating controller. Check if Docker is running using docker ps.", "Agent is not running. Wait a second..." and "I did not recognize this action: terminal." I saw that people in the comments write that you can write the symbol "SANDBOX_TYPE=exec" in the file "config.toml" and expect that this should fix the problem, but I cannot find the file "config.toml" (the search function does not helps) to do this. Help me please. Tell me where this file is located. If anything, I have a Mac.
