API working intermittently!?

Posted on August 26, 2018

I was trying to create a docker machine using the docker-machine create command but it is always failing with different errors, but with one common denominator: “Unable to authenticate you”

Now I’m realizing that the problem might be related with the api it self. If I call several times the API with the same token via curl, sometimes I get the answer, sometimes I get “Unable to authenticate you”.

At least 1 in 4 calls has “Unable to authenticate you” as an answer.

Is anyone experiencing the same problem?

Are you still seeing similar behavior?
