Docker endpoint for "default" not found

I did clone a project and in the first step when I tried to start the container, I did run windows CMD in my project root and I type this command:

docker-compose up --build

and this message is shown to me:

docker endpoint for "default" not found.

I’ll be more than happy if somebody helps me. When I write this command for the first time I had an internet problem it got paused, in second time started to download something then this message printed.

I tried to delete my old Containers, also I try with my VPN on and off, and restart docker in PowerShell.

    Try to delete ".docker" folder.
    This helped in my case.

    For Windows Users

    1. Delete .docker directory. Which exists on PATH C:Usersyour-username.docker
    2. Restart docker.

    This comment helped me better then nuking the whole directory:

    https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/9956#issuecomment-1294483086

    (check an empty meta.json in ~/.docker/contexts/meta/(somelong hash)/meta.json, delete it)

    I couldn’t get this working following all the suggestions. In the end I edited the empty meta.json file under C:UsersUSERNAME.dockercontextsmetaGUIDmeta.json, and just pasted the following from a previously working file:

    {"Name":"temp","Metadata":{"StackOrchestrator":"swarm"},"Endpoints":{"docker":{"Host":"unix:///var/run/docker.sock","SkipTLSVerify":false}}}

    Then it started working again!

    Please follow these steps bellow:

    1. Stop Docker Desktop and all containers.

    2. Go to path:

    ~/.docker/contexts/meta/(some sha256)/meta.json

    Using Windows it should be on:

    C:UsersYOUR_USERmeta(some sha256)meta.json

    This meta.json file should be just full of NULLs or empty.

    1. Delete this hashed path with this meta.json file inside of it.
    2. Restart Docker

    Done.

    Notes:

    • Please backup before deleting.
    • Don’t be afraid to lost data because this way we should remove ONLY this NULL/Empty file (and folder). Just be aware to not delete any important files.
