Having trouble deploying a REMOTE docker target

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help here as i can’t quite get it right in terms of deploying to a a remote docker target on either a Linode or Vultr VPS (Digital Ocean works fine due to the Docker Machine integration.)

So basically i have my servers set up on either Linode or Vultr ( have multiple trial accounts at the moment) and have tried to deploy a remote docker target by putting in the IP address of the server and leaving the port as default 2375.


(not using TLS as just testing)

On my servers i have docker installed either as one-click app or manually through the CLI.

I have installed Docker Machines via the Docker Toolkit on my local PC, although there are no machines created or running. I tried to create a new machine but it said something about ‘can’t create a VM with Hyper-V running’ or something…

When i try to deploy through Wappler, it fails almost straight away and says:

ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon - you might need to run `docker-machine start default`. Error Launching Services!

If i run that command, the CLI states that “Docker machine default does not exist”.

Can someone please help shed some light on what i’m missing or point me in the right direction? Much appreciated.
