<Tip>
OpenHands only supports Windows via WSL. Please be sure to run all commands inside your WSL terminal.
</Tip>
### Launch docker client failed
**Description**
When running OpenHands, the following error is seen:
```
Launch docker client failed. Please make sure you have installed docker and started docker desktop/daemon.
```
**Resolution**
Try these in order:
* Confirm `docker` is running on your system. You should be able to run `docker ps` in the terminal successfully.
* If using Docker Desktop, ensure `Settings > Advanced > Allow the default Docker socket to be used` is enabled.
* Depending on your configuration you may need `Settings > Resources > Network > Enable host networking` enabled in Docker Desktop.
* Reinstall Docker Desktop.
### Permission Error
**Description**
On initial prompt, an error is seen with `Permission Denied` or `PermissionError`.
**Resolution**
* Check if the `~/.openhands` is owned by `root`. If so, you can:
* Change the directory's ownership: `sudo chown <user>:<user> ~/.openhands`.
* or update permissions on the directory: `sudo chmod 777 ~/.openhands`
* or delete it if you dont need previous data. OpenHands will recreate it. You'll need to re-enter LLM settings.
* If mounting a local directory, ensure your `WORKSPACE_BASE` has the necessary permissions for the user running
OpenHands.
### Unable to access VS Code tab via local IP
**Description**
When accessing OpenHands through a non-localhost URL (such as a LAN IP address), the VS Code tab shows a "Forbidden"
error, while other parts of the UI work fine.
**Resolution**
This happens because VS Code runs on a random high port that may not be exposed or accessible from other machines.
To fix this:
1. Set a specific port for VS Code using the `SANDBOX_VSCODE_PORT` environment variable:
```bash
docker run -it --rm \
-e SANDBOX_VSCODE_PORT=41234 \
-e SANDBOX_RUNTIME_CONTAINER_IMAGE=docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/runtime:latest \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v ~/.openhands:/.openhands \
-p 3000:3000 \
-p 41234:41234 \
--add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
--name openhands-app \
docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/openhands:latest
```
> **Note**: If you used OpenHands before version 0.44, you may want to run `mv ~/.openhands-state ~/.openhands` to migrate your conversation history to the new location.
2. Make sure to expose the same port with `-p 41234:41234` in your Docker command.
3. If running with the development workflow, you can set this in your `config.toml` file:
```toml
[sandbox]
vscode_port = 41234
```
