Not able to start up a single Ethereum node

[ErikvdVen]

This is my response after running (somehow I cannot use docker-compose without sudo):

$ sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose-standalone.yml up -d

response:

erik@Erik-Ubuntu:~/Development/ethereum-docker$ sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose-standalone.yml up -d
Creating network "ethereumdocker_default" with the default driver
Starting ethereumdocker_geth_1

But I'm not able to start the web interface by executing:

xdg-open http://$(docker-machine ip default):8545

First I had to install docker-machine (which wasn't installed on my Ubuntu machine along with the toolbox). After installing docker-machine I had to create a machine, so I did and called it default. Still Google Chrome returns a "This site can’t be reached" page. Even on port 3000

It seems like it does not run docker-compose on the default docker-machine and I cannot figure out how to. What does work, is starting a complete cluster on localhost by executing sudo docker-compose up. But I would like to run the standalone version...

If you take the -d off of

sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose-standalone.yml up -d

Do you get some more info?

Same error on Linux Ubuntu

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-standalone.yml up

Exactly the same issue on my side...
