Hi,

could you please be more specific? I have not created any videos nor written blogposts about any of this.

From the log, it seems the driver binary (or some other command launched) dies before the creation orchestrator expects it, resulting in attempt to read the now-closed stdout pipe of that process.

It turns out, this hot-fix was screwing it up: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/docker-machine/-/issues/41 Removed the custom engine provisioning URL and now it works.

Probably unrelated to the OP issue, but I'm just leaving this here for Googlers :)
