Nothing works, everything crashes. What can I do?
If Datashare crashes, please try to restart Docker Desktop.
On Mac:
  • Click the Docker Desktop icon on the top menu bar. The following drop-down menu appears:
  • Click 'Restart'.
  • As long as the icon's little points move, it means that Docker Desktop is still restarting.
  • Once these points stopped moving, either Datashare restarted automatically or you can restart Datashare manually (see 'Open Datashare').
On Windows,
  • Right-click the Docker Desktop icon (a little whale) on the bottom menu bar.
  • Click 'Restart'.
  • Click 'Restart' again.
  • Wait for Docker Desktop to restart.
  • When it says 'Docker Desktop is running', either Datashare restarted automatically or you can restart Datashare manually (see 'Open Datashare').
On Linux, please execute: sudo service docker restart
