Had a similar issue using cygwin on windows, did you find a solution?

I have a similar problem in macOS 10.12. Is there any solution for this problem?

Hi @alexlaurence , How did you configure Docker? do you have any documents that i can look at for the configuration of Docker. Thanks.

I'm having this problem too and I have installed docker, but I too don't know how to configure it the way you did to make it work. Could you elaborate?
