docker-machine create - Error creating machine: Error running provisioning

lipiss

When running
docker-machine create --driver digitalocean --digitalocean-access-token=$DO_TOKEN demo1
I get an error:
Error creating machine: Error running provisioning: Unable to verify the Docker daemon is listening: Maximum number of retries (10) exceeded

Hi @lipiss,

Can you provide the chapter and section, or lab exercise where you found this command with the digitalocean driver? Perhaps it is an outdated version of the exercise?

Regards,

Hello!
this was at the chapter 6 lab exercise:
3. How to use docker-machine to create a Docker instance on DigitalOcean and then, connect to it?
