Question

I'm trying to setup docker and I`m getting the following error:

ERROR: Pool overlaps with other one on this address space

What should I do to solve it,please?

Answer

Could you provide us with the command you have run as well as your docker-compose.yml file please?

The error you are encountering is suggesting you have a network address conflict. To check that you could run: docker network ls to list all the docker network running currently on your machine.

Once you have identified the culprit you should be able to remove it with the following command: docker network rm my_network (where my_network is the one you have created initially)
