Hyperledger Docker Error building images cannot connect to Docker endpoint

Question

I tried to deploy a chaincode, which compiles without errors. 

But then I got the following error in the docker logs:

**08:44:26.565 [dockercontroller] deployImage -> ERRO 059 Error building images: cannot connect to Docker endpoint**

Then when I try to deploy the chaincode I get a different error:

So how do I solve this?

Answer 1

Check your container environment variable:

CORE_VM_ENDPOINT=unix:///var/run/docker.sock

Then if you get deployImage -> ERRO 052 Error building images: Tag latest not found... 

Download one of the available images and retag it

docker pull hyperledger/fabric-baseimage:x86_64-0.1.0
docker tag hyperledger/fabric-baseimage:x86_64-0.1.0 hyperledger/fabric-baseimage:latest
