Fixing docker error message on new terminal open

Posted on by

Since we use docker for just about everything at work, I got started with the very helpful ‘Getting Started’ guide. Shortly after, I noticed an issue where every time I opened a new terminal window, I was getting an error message.

Error checking TLS connection: Host is not running

This was because I was attempting to be clever and have my bash profile get docker set up for me, except it didn’t work when I didn’t have a docker-machine running already.

The fix: run docker-machine start default (substitute whatever name you want for default if you’re fancy) before running any other docker-machine commands.

The real fix: Don’t try to be quite that clever. I’ll get more sensible error messages that way.

The real real fix: Why do all the helpers for docker have a freaking - in the middle!? It is very annoying to type.

Fixing Sublime Text 2 and GoSublime

Posted on by

I’m still using Sublime Text 2 because it works well for me. I also use the GoSublime plugin to trigger go fmt and goimports on every save. This broke when GoSublime updated recently.

ETA: As of 2016/05/18 this broke again, still working out why.

** ETA2: I never got Sublime Text 2 to work properly with GoSublime. However, upgrading to Sublime Text 3 was painless and GoSublime works properly again!**

The fix: Instead of using the Package Manager, manually clone down the git repo and check out and older version (hat tip these folks).

Step 1: Uninstall GoSublime through the Package Manager.

Step 2: Rename or delete the GoSublime folder in /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages.

Step 3: Pull down the GoSublime repo.

Step 4: Check out commit 852a15fb933
