The knowledge sources do not contain specific information about this exact error ("Unable to create Docker client" / "unable to determine docker installation status"). However, based on related issues documented for
abctl
, here are some things to check: 1. Verify Docker is running — After restarting Docker, confirm the daemon is actually up and accessible:docker ps docker run hello-world 2. Check permissions on the abctl directory — A similar issue was resolved by fixing permissions on the
~/.airbyte/abctl
directory: [abctl uninstall issue]sudo chmod -R 777 ~/.airbyte/abctl 3. Podman instead of Docker — If you are using Podman as a Docker emulator, note that
abctl
requires actual Docker. Using Podman has been reported to cause installation failures. [ImagePullBackOff issue] 4. Snap version of Docker (Ubuntu) — If you're on Ubuntu, the snap version of Docker can cause communication issues. Removing the snap version and installing Docker via
apt
has resolved similar problems. [startup error forum] 5. Restart Docker Desktop or the Docker daemon — Simply restarting Docker has resolved communication errors in some cases. [connector build error] If none of these apply, the knowledge sources do not contain enough detail to pinpoint the exact cause of this specific error. You may want to open a GitHub issue on the Airbyte repository with your OS version, Docker version, and
abctl
version for further assistance. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
