Troubleshooting Docker Issues

Docker Not Detected

Symptom: Dermi Atlas Manager requirements check says "Docker not found".

Solutions:

1. Is it running? Check for the Docker whale icon in the system tray (Windows) or menu bar (macOS).
2. Install/Reinstall: Ensure Docker Desktop is installed.
3. Linux Permissions: Ensure your user is in the docker group (sudo usermod -aG docker $USER).

Docker Desktop Will Not Start

Symptom: Docker hangs on "Starting..."

Solutions:

1. Restart: Quit Docker Desktop fully and reopen.
2. Windows WSL: Run wsl --shutdown in PowerShell (Admin) and restart Docker.
3. Reset: Use the "Reset to factory defaults" option in Docker Troubleshoot settings (Warning: Deletes data).

Insufficient Resources

Symptom: Dermi Atlas Professional runs slowly or crashes.

Solution:

1. Open Docker Desktop Settings > Resources.
2. Increase Memory to 4GB or 8GB.
3. Increase Disk to 32GB or 64GB.
4. Click Apply & Restart.

Image alignment features are particularly sensitive to low memory allocation. If alignment is slow or unresponsive, increasing Docker memory to 8GB or more is recommended.
