Checking System / Regenerating Docker Machine TLS Certificates

This is my second attempt to get Local by Flywheel to work. I tried a week ago and encountered the same issues. Upon startup it will get stuck in a continuous loop of “Checking System / Regenerating Docker Machine TLS Certificates.”

After the first install, I uninstalled it but then I look at all the people using this out there without any issues. I just had to try again. The same exact thing. It works perfectly fine on the first day of install. Now today after computer was shut down last night, it goes back to the dreaded loop.

I’ve copied a few entries from my log file:

You can attempt to regenerate them using ‘docker-machine regenerate-certs [name]’.
Be advised that this will trigger a Docker daemon restart which might stop running containers.

I wanted to say that I found a solution in the forums that seemed to work for me on macOS.
