I have a similar problem to this issue raised two weeks ago, which I see was fixed - a python error when I run

datahub version

(or any other

datahub

cli command, just after I've run those first few poetry commands in the "Install the Datahub CLI" section

ah, on further digging I think maybe that issue is fixed but not released?

now I realised this, I've resolved it by manually downgrading pydantic to <2.0 (

pip install "pydantic<2.0"

) - in case it helps the next person to stumble across this 🙂

I'm having some other issues with the quickstart process, so I'm still interested in whether #troubleshoot or here is the right place for questions.

What are your other issues?

I looked at the source, and I believe it's this method that's failing: https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/blob/62f27897241516ec7aac4a809ef340fc343aa8b1/metadata-ingestion/src/datahub/cli/docker_check.py#L56-L88

and the message returned to the user in this case is:

Docker doesn't seem to be running. Did you start it?

but docker is certainly running (I'm on ubuntu and various

docker

commands do respond to me) - but

docker.from_env()

in the python SDK throws an error. so this error message kind of obscures other docker issues? I've been pulled away to something else, but when I return to it I'll investigate how my users / docker setup is, because I have it running without sudo (as recommended in the docs) but I suspect my setup is non-standard.

Let me know how your next attempt goes.

I'm also generally curious about why it's a python script rather than some docker-compose.yml, but that's a wider question 🙂
