Troubleshooting common problems¶
Solving problems hangs, on OS X with docker-machine or VirtualBox to run Docker¶
There is a known problem with VirtualBox shared folders: it is impossible for the VM to create a unix socket inside (for strange reasons).
To solve this, you can mount instead your /Users directory using docker-machine-nfs
:
brew install docker-machine-nfs
docker-machine-nfs default -f --nfs-config="-maproot=0"
It is impossible to modify the course.yaml from the webdav interface¶
Some editors/webdav clients attempt to first move/delete a file before modifying it. It is forbidden to remove or rename the course.yaml, so the modification will fail.
Use simpler editors (such as nano/vim) that directly edit the file rather than doing strange things.
