Issues with updated version 23.0, it no longer works

[PaPaTheGMan]

Describe the bug
Updated to version 23.0 and now lazydocker won't run. Receive the following error messages upon attempting to run:
2023/10/11 07:58:15 > could not determine host stat /root/.docker: no such file or directory
2023/10/11 07:58:15 unable to parse docker host ``

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the Install script - curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker/master/scripts/install_update_linux.sh | bash
2. Enter lazydocker from the command line
3. See error

Expected behaviour
Expected lazydocker to run normally. Have updated many times in the past with no issues.

I had this too. Creating the ~/.docker directory seems to fix it.

mkdir ~/.docker

Bisect points to this.

Seems odd that we're determining the Docker host by duplicating what Docker does to determine the current host. Shouldn't the entire determineDockerHost function be replaced by a straight-forward call to docker context inspect "$( docker context show )" so we can pull the [0].Endpoints.docker.Host value? This works regardless of the presence of "${HOME}/.docker" (which we shouldn't be reading directly, IMO).

Sorry, that did not work in my cases.

@PaPaTheGMan It looks like you're running lazydocker as sudo, so in your case a sudo mkdir /root/.docker would be the "fix".

[PaPaTheGMan]

Ah ha, you are right. That did the trick. Why the change? I didn't need that empty folder before?

Interesting: docker for mac (which I'm using) will create that directory if it doesn't already exist when it starts.

I'm removing the directory existence check as it's not necessary given docker's own code will itself gracefully check for it. See #489

Works for me locally, would anybody else be able to test on their end?

[jesseduffield]

That's on the master branch now

[devhero]

Same issue here, version 0.23.1, but happend after first machine reboot.
~/.docker folder already there, moved into ~/.docker__ and created a new ~/.docker one.
Now it works.

[ownicn]

see #493

[devregnfo]

Leaving the line at ~/docker/config.json :
{
"currentContext": "",
}
... seems to work for me. But I got rid of Docker-Desktop and use only docker.io from DEBIAN (MX-Linux + SysVinit)
I got rid of the problem.

I'm running into the same issue.

I installed lazydocker with go install github.com/jesseduffield/[email protected].

Then, it failed with the following error mesage:

$ lazydocker --debug
2024/04/09 15:57:09 > could not determine host context "default" does not exist
2024/04/09 15:57:09 unable to parse docker host ``

I inspected my ~/.docker/config.json file, and saw the following line:

$ grep currentContext ~/.docker/config.json
	"currentContext": "default"

I replaced that line with "currentContext": "" and now it works! 🎉

I just installed lazydocker on my Arch and immediately faced the issue, even though I had ~/.docker directory. And this solution worked for me. Thanks.
