Docker-compose up : Error while fetching server API version: ('Connection aborted.', ConnectionRefusedError(61, 'Connection refused'))
Solution 1
Add your user to docker group and try again.
sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker
newgrp docker
If you still have the problem, you may try after logging out and login back, or reboot. Or simply do:
sudo su $USER
Note: this may also happens if docker is not running on your machine. For linux with sytemd service manager, you could verify using command:
systemctl status docker.service
Solution 2
just open Docker Desktop on your computer
Solution 3
Make sure your docker is actually running on your machine. You can use this post: How to check if the docker engine and a docker container are running?
Solution 4
I had the same issue and error message. In my case i had to start and enable docker service.
systemctl start docker
systemctl enable docker
Solution 5
Solution: This means you haven’t started your docker service!
First, try to start it using
1.sudo systemctl start docker
2.sudo service docker start
3.sudo /etc/init.d/docker restart

I am trying to do the
docker-compose up
command in my terminal. First I navigate to the file directory where I find a docker-compose.yaml. Then I write the command. The Server is on Port 80. I get the following error:Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/docker/api/client.py", line 205, in _retrieve_server_version File "site-packages/docker/api/daemon.py", line 181, in version File "site-packages/docker/utils/decorators.py", line 46, in inner File "site-packages/docker/api/client.py", line 228, in _get File "site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 543, in get File "site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 530, in request File "site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 643, in send File "site-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 498, in send requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', ConnectionRefusedError(61, 'Connection refused')) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "docker-compose", line 3, in <module> File "compose/cli/main.py", line 67, in main File "compose/cli/main.py", line 123, in perform_command File "compose/cli/command.py", line 69, in project_from_options File "compose/cli/command.py", line 132, in get_project File "compose/cli/docker_client.py", line 43, in get_client File "compose/cli/docker_client.py", line 170, in docker_client File "site-packages/docker/api/client.py", line 188, in __init__ File "site-packages/docker/api/client.py", line 213, in _retrieve_server_version docker.errors.DockerException: Error while fetching server API version: ('Connection aborted.', ConnectionRefusedError(61, 'Connection refused')) [12728] Failed to execute script docker-compose
The first error shows up two times then the second.
