    I tried this and at the docker-machine create step it just got hung up "waiting for an IP" indefinitely, left the machine / VM in a locked unusable state. Commented Oct 23, 2020 at 19:48

    I tried these instructions, but the docker daemon still wasn't started... To resolve the problem I had to use open --background -a Docker on my macbook... Commented Aug 18, 2021 at 0:06

    Instead of brew install --cask docker virtualbox, I had to do brew install --cask virtualbox. Otherwise, when later running docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default, I got Error with pre-create check: "VBoxManage not found. Make sure VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path", which indicates VirtualBox isn't properly installed.

    This went great for some time. But docker-machine was moved to maintenance in 2018, with a last release in 2019. They replaced it with Docker Desktop

  • I tried that but it doesn't want to install virtualbox on an M1 processor based computer (which makes sense, since VB is Intel based). Commented Apr 19, 2023 at 0:49
