desktop-linux

desktop-linux copied to clipboard

• [x] I have tried with the latest version of Docker Desktop
• [ ] I have tried disabling enabled experimental features
• [ ] I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID: NA (Can't install Docker Desktop, hence can't use diagnostic tool)

Expected behavior

Docker desktop package should be installed independently of the packages installed for Docker Engine such as Docker Compose.

Actual behavior

Docker desktop package for Arch fails to install if Docker Compose package is already installed on your system with the following error:

failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
docker-desktop: /usr/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose exists in filesystem (owned by docker-compose)

Information

• Linux distro: Manjaro (Arch Linux)
• Distro version: 22.0.5 (Sikaris)
• Docker Desktop Version: 4.17.0

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Ensure that you have Docker Engine and Docker Compose already installed

$ sudo pacman -S docker docker-compose

2. Download the Arch Package
3. Install the package using the following command:

$ sudo pacman -U ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.pkg.tar.zst

You'll see the following output at the third step which checks for file conflicts -

(3/3) checking for file conflicts [------------------------------------] 100% error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) docker-desktop: /usr/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose exists in filesystem (owned by docker-compose) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

At the time of writing this, I have the following versions of Docker and Docker Compose installed:

• Docker version 23.0.1, build a5ee5b1
• Docker Compose version 2.16.0

I am having the same issue.

you need delete docker compose sudo pacman -R docker-compose , then you can use instructions, sorry for my english

Yes, that is apparent given it's a conflict.

The issue is that the conflict shouldn't exist between Compose for Engine and Desktop.

There hasn't been any activity on this issue for a long time. If the problem is still relevant, mark the issue as fresh with a /remove-lifecycle stale comment. If not, this issue will be closed in 30 days.

/lifecycle stale

I can confirm this is still a problem.

I have created an AUR package based on the official Docker Desktop package that does not conflict with existing Arch packages:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/docker-desktop

I resolved the issue by following these steps:

sudo pacman -R docker-compose

This command uninstalls docker-compose.

sudo pacman -U ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.pkg.tar.zst

Installing docker desktop should now work. After a successful installation, navigate to $HOME/.docker and delete the config.json file. Then, in your terminal, enter sudo systemctl restart docker && sudo systemctl enable docker. After that, enter docker login and provide your username and docker token or password.

Go to docker desktop and start it. Both docker desktop and compose should be functioning.

Additional: If desired, restart your PC. Edit: If your containers are not appearing in Docker Desktop, please change the context from "default" to "desktop-linux" and attempt again. To change the context, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal and run the command docker context ls.
2. The output should look like this:

NAME                TYPE                DESCRIPTION                               DOCKER ENDPOINT                                  KUBERNETES ENDPOINT   ORCHESTRATOR
default *           moby                Current DOCKER_HOST based configuration   unix:///var/run/docker.sock                                            
desktop-linux       moby                Docker Desktop                            unix:///home/$USER/.docker/desktop/docker.sock    

3. Change the context to "desktop-linux" by running the command docker context use desktop-linux.
4. The output should be:

desktop-linux
Current context is now "desktop-linux"

The containers should now be visible in Docker desktop. You will need to restart the compose file.

Removing the package is not a solution if you want to use Compose with both Docker Engine and Docker Desktop, hence the conflict issue.

After installing Docker Desktop, I was still able to use compose.

With Docker Engine?

Yup.

Yup.

Oh I see, you removed the compose package using Pacman but kept the docker package and changed the context. 👍 For some reason I thought you removed Engine as well. 😅

Yes, exactly that.

What if i want to use docker-compose from pacman ?

conflict between docker-compose and docker-desktop still exist

Hi, i used 'sudo pacman -R docker-desktop' to remove docker desktop then simply sudo pacman -S docker-compose

At the time of writing this, I have the following versions of Docker and Docker Compose installed:

• Docker version 23.0.1, build a5ee5b1
• Docker Compose version 2.16.0

Don't install docker-compose package, installing docker and docker-desktop is enough also don't use the above aur package by @gustavosbarreto as it is out-dated as of 15-03-24.

Enable 'docker-compose' CLI alias in general settings or use docker compose up -d instead of using docker-compose up -d also don't keep the issue open if is it has been fixed.

Can confirm this is still an issue in 2024. Not sure why this is marked frozen or stale, because users are still hitting this issue when following docs available here: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/archlinux/

I was able to resolve it by installing docker-desktop from the AUR using paru, (thank you so very much @gustavosbarreto :pray: ), choosing qemu-full.

I then got a virtualization error from Docker Desktop and so I followed these instructions: https://chatgpt.com/share/49f327fc-fff3-4b93-8727-fcd1ff8f2c80

Gonna have to reboot to see if this works.

These instructions aren't working to enable virtualization as required by Docker Desktop: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/linux-install/#kvm-virtualization-support

So I'm just going to give up on that and just use the CLI commands for now.

you have docker-compose & docker-build you need to remove those before you can install this.

For me using yay -R docker-desktop-debug helps to avoid this bug
