Docker Machine create fails if /etc/os-release not found.

[outtolunc]

This issue still exists, and has been stated 'this will be fixed in v0.5.0 , will it?

If nothing else have it fall-through to /etc/os-release /etc/redhat-release /etc/centos-release etc..

Running pre-create checks... Creating machine... Waiting for machine to be running, this may take a few minutes... Machine is running, waiting for SSH to be available... Detecting operating system of created instance... Error creating machine: Error detecting OS: Error getting SSH command: Something went wrong running an SSH command! command : cat /etc/os-release err : exit status 1 output : cat: /etc/os-release: No such file or directory

I don't think it will be fixed in the 0.5.0 release. Where did you read that? Is there a duplicate issue we can consolidate into?

At a quick glance I don't see any issues which clearly reference this bug in the name but I'll treat this one as the bug report until / if we find such a dupe.

[nathanleclaire]

But for reference, it is still an issue in 0.5.0.

I'm affected by this too

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago)

[jbaramidze]

still no solution for it?

If I understand this summary correctly, /etc/os-release is systemd-specific which does not apply to CentOS 6.

The same with macOS which does not have any "*release" or "*version" files in "/etc". Some unanswered question also here: https://forums.docker.com/t/connecting-to-docker-running-on-mac-server/9174
