    Not really sure what state your system is in. This github issue shows it could be related to disk space or needs a reboot. Did you install other Dockers on the image? They are very large and maybe all of the space is consumed

      Just looking at your script, I realized that modal has it's own docker services.. so perhaps this provides a little more info: I have created a few images from the kinetic image

        I had a battery go pretty low and the system crashed while running mavros in docker last night, after reboot, docker deamon is not responding and I cannot see any images.

          @kiprock I would reflash the system, setup your IP connection, configure Docker and just verify that it works as expected.

            just looking at the logs, the docker deamon fails here:

            level=fatal msg="Error starting daemon: Error initializing network controller: could not delete the default bridge network: network bridge has active endpoints"
            

            Most forums suggest removing the docker network folder: rm -r /var/lib/docker/network

            I did this but still having issues. Just curious if the modalAI setup stores docker files somewhere else?

              @kiprock Everything is stored on /data. But again, I would reflash and start over just to verify Docker operation.

                  @kiprock Hi I have a exactly same issue.

                  I flashed image and reset factory configuration on my VOXL, but, It has still issue.

                  Did you resolve this problem?

                  Thanks,

                    @Eric-Katzfey if you cannot start docker images, you can try the command above to clear them. Good luck.

                            @kiprock Thank you for this, that also solved the issue in my case.

                            To be a little more cautious, I simply renamed the existing file, which forced the generation of a new one when running the configuration script voxl-configure-docker-support.sh:

                            voxl:/data/network/files$ mv local-kv.db local-kv_DISABLED.db

                              What do you see after running voxl-configure-docker.sh ?

                              Should be something like:

                              yocto:/# voxl-configure-docker-support.sh

                              @modaltb I have a problem, after I write that line, the drone display a message that says: voxl:/$ voxl-configure-docker-suport.sh
                              bash: voxl-configure-docker-suport.sh: command not found
                              voxl:/$

                                  @José-Quintanilla You can use [TAB] after you start writing a command to auto-fill

                                      @tom It wasn't that, because I need that especific line on my VOXL to work, so I can use properly the sdk

                                        @José-Quintanilla What is not working? Did you run voxl-configure-docker-support.sh?
