Troubleshooting

While Docketeer is designed to be user-friendly, you may encounter some bumps along the way. Here are a few troubleshooting tips:

Common Issues

  • WSL Issues: It’s recommended to use Docketeer on WindowsOS, MacOS, or native Linux to avoid difficulties running it through WSL.
  • Linux Permissions: If you face database connection errors, you might need to change file permissions.
  • chmod 771 
  • Ad-blocker Conflicts: Ensure your ad-blocker is disabled, as it can prevent the application from loading properly (you might see an ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT error).
  • Network Capacity: If Docker can’t create more than 31 networks, you can modify the daemon.json configuration file to increase the limits.
