Can't run OrbStack with User Account on external disk

[MisterMike]

I am using an external (Thunderbolt) disk to host my user account. The macOS and its Applications are on the internal disk. With this configuration, I cannot get Orbstack to work. I tried to change the docker socket to either point to the user folder on the external disk as well as having it point to a custom folder on the internal disk.

meta.js from docker context:
{"Name":"orbstack","Metadata":{"Description":"OrbStack"},"Endpoints":{"docker":{"Host":"unix:///Volumes/Mini Data/Benutzer/mischa/.orbstack/run/docker.sock","SkipTLSVerify":false}}}

docker ps : error during connect: Get "http://%2FVolumes%2FMini%20Data%2FBenutzer%2Fmischa%2F.orbstack%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.47/containers/json": EOF

Anyone have any suggestions ?

I created a Test user. If I point that user to the internal disk, Orbstack works without any problems. When I point the user's home folder to an external disk, it won't work.

Unfortunately I don't know what settings I need to change to make it work.

The problem was that the external drive's name contained a space – wasn't aware this could be a problem these days!
