Docker-py: the client and server do not have the same version (client: 1.16, server: 1.15) ")

Question

docker-py 0.7.0 gives me the following error regarding local installation of Docker Docker 1.3.2 and docker 0.7.0. The host launches CentOS 6.6. How can this be fixed?

Answer 1

got the same issue yesterday. Force install docker-py = 0.6.0. If you already have 0.7.0 installed, you need to clear the cache pip, otherwise pip will install 0.7.0 from your cache.

This is not a mistake, and docker-ru is trying to use the latest available docker api. If you have the latest docker, everything is fine, if you just do not need to transfer the "version" to the "Client".

Answer 3

Solution if the client version is newer than the server version:

Suppose you want to connect to your docker, for example:

 docker_client = Client(base_url='tcp://127.0.0.1:2376') # Alternatively: # docker_client = Client(base_url='unix://var/run/docker.sock') 

If the client version is newer than the server version, this will result in an error message that resembles the following:

 docker.errors.NotFound: 404 Client Error: Not Found ("client and server don't have same version (client : 1.22, server: 1.18)") 

You can solve the problem by setting the version property of the docker.Client object (as suggested by @sredni). Given the above error, you need to change the line to:

 docker_client = Client(base_url='tcp://127.0.0.1:2376', version='1.18')
