Sitecore 10 - Error response from daemon: Unrecognised volume spec: file '\\.\pipe\docker_engine'

Recently, I was trying to set up a new test environment, I downloaded the package from the Sitecore Site, I did the init and while doing the docker-compose up -d, I got this error 

Error - Error response from daemon: Unrecognised volume spec: file '\\.\pipe\docker_engine' cannot be mapped. Only directories can be mapped on this platform

Starting searching for the solution - the first one was to remove the back slash

https://github.com/nicholasdille/docker/issues/1

didn't help me, below is the exact location where I can see it's complaining.

I found this is a common issue because one person has recently posted on stackoverflow-

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68010612/error-response-from-daemon-unrecognised-volume-spec-file-pipe-docker-engi

Now, It's getting very interesting for me :) 

I removed all containers and tried to set up a new lighthouse repository and found new issues

services.smtp.scale must be a integer

I think I have noticed that I have the latest version of PowerShell on my machine, I have uninstalled and restarted it, but after the restart, init and compose-up, I got a new error, interesting day today!!

Now, I made one change here 

I think must be an issue with the Docker, or PowerShell etc, I checked the docker and tried to run one sample application (Not the Sitecore one).

docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started

Error Details - 

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started

I have changed the container to Linux and not got below warning

docker: Error response from daemon: Ports are not available: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:80: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

 

I removed everything inside the docker using the below command

docker system prune

Ran the sample application and ran it successfully, I ran the Sitecore but it didn't work because of the Linux container 

no matching manifest for linux/amd64 in the manifest list entries

(Which is a common understanding because they have mentioned in the document that the container should be a window one)

Another issue -

time="2021-06-25T10:52:44+10:00" level=warning msg="network demo: network.external.name is deprecated in favor of network.name"

Found that external.name is deprecated but it's in use in the lighthouse demo here -

Reference URL: 

1. https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v2/
2. https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/issues/6453

 Uninstalled and installed Docker - and tried to run the sample application, Got below error 

docker: no matching manifest for windows/amd64 10.0.19042 in the manifest list entries.See 'docker run --help'.

The above issue got resolve when I updated the experimental mode =true, Now got one more issue

PS C:\Projects\Demo> docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started

I did a complete new machine setup, and followed the steps mentioned in the installation document, downloaded the package from here - https://github.com/Sitecore/docker-examples

Ran the ini and docker-compose up command, got below error now

PS C:\sitecore\docker-examples\getting-started> docker-compose up -d

Got the answere here - https://sitecore.namics.com/failed-to-pull-sitecore-image-on-aks/

normally means that your Docker is running in Linux container mode

Now, I got one more error 

ERROR: failed to register layer: rename C:\ProgramData\Docker\image\windowsfilter\layerdb\tmp\write-set-043761389 C:\ProgramData\Docker\image\windowsfilter\layerdb\sha256\a7ba3db29ebb3a32e6a9c912d6ab5941bd981a0c39a420e6786c70a66babb80b: Access is denied.

PS C:\sitecore\getting-started> I provided all access and removed the read only access, but still it didn't work. Finally found that could be related to Antivirous.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41104410/pull-image-with-docker-on-windows-10-failed-to-register-layer-denied-acce

Removing the complete antivisous just to make sure if that's the reason.

Removing the antiviroush has resolved my issue.

I can see an image file here -C:\ProgramData\Docker\image\windowsfilter\layerdb\sha256
