Container engine initialization error [recurring]

Binder
1

Hi guys!

I am getting this relatively often, to the point that I can not reliably use Binder and may have to look at Colab :frowning: :sob:

Am I right thinking that this is an infrastructure issue and there is nothing I can do, or is this an issue with my repo?

Waiting for build to start…

Container engine initialization error: (‘Check if docker is running on the host.’, DockerException(“Error while fetching server API version: (‘Connection aborted.’, BlockingIOError(11, ‘Resource temporarily unavailable’))”))

That’s the repo in question:

It’s likely a problem with one of the federated members behind mybinder.org.

As a temporary workaround you can try forcing a particular member such as https://gke.mybinder.org/
