Docker Toolbox - hang on `docker push`

Question

I am using Docker Toolbox on Mac.

docker push is hanging. How do I hard restart the daemon or docker-machine VM to get this unhung in a bad manner. It is taking too long to wait for it.

Answer 1

You can just run:

docker-machine stop <name-of-your-docker-machine>

which is usually:

docker-machine stop default

next option:

docker-machine kill default

Did you check that your docker machine is running:

docker-machine ls

Brute force approach:

kill -9 `ps -Af | grep -v grep | grep VBoxHeadless | awk '{print $2}'`
