    Are you following the docs here?

    The voxl-docker command is for developing in a Docker on a PC, it should not be run on VOXL.

    The tutorial steps to run on target are:

    yocto:/# voxl-configure-docker-support.sh
    yocto:/# docker images
    yocto:/# docker run hello-world
    

    If you have run the PC scripts on VOXL, not really sure what would happen

    @Chad-Sweet Thanks for the fast response!

      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.

                  rm /data/network/files/local-kv.db
                  

                  did the trick. Thanks for providing that missing piece of data!

                    @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.

                            Great!

                            I resolved this problem as you mentioned.

                            yocto:/$ rm /data/network/files/local-kv.db
                            yocto:/$ voxl-configure-docker-support.sh 
                            Stopping original docker service
                            Enabling our own services docker-start & docker-prepare
                            starting docker-start.service
                            loading hello-world docker image
                            successfully loaded hello-world
                            starting docker-prepare service
                            Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/docker-autorun.service to /etc/systemd/system/docker-autorun.service.
                            
                            done configuring voxl-docker-support

                              rm /data/network/files/local-kv.db
                              

                              did the trick. Thanks for providing that missing piece of data!

                              @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
                                Stopping original docker service
                                Enabling our own services docker-start & docker-prepare
                                starting docker-start.service
                                loading hello-world docker image
                                successfully loaded hello-world
                                starting docker-prepare service
                                
                                done configuring voxl-docker-support

                                @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 Looks like you spelled it wrong

                                    @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?
