Error when trying to run docker-compose up. "oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247..."

[michalwarda]

When trying to launch a built container with docker-compose up I'm getting an error:

ERROR: for app  Cannot start service app: invalid header field value "oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused \"exec: \\\"script/docker-entrypoint.sh\\\": stat script/docker-entrypoint.sh: no such file or directory\"\n"
ERROR: compose.cli.main.main: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

I've tried reinstalling docker, docker-compose, virtualbox, rebuilding containers, recreating machines. Downgrading almost all of those things to previous versions. Literally retrying the whole docker instalation flow.

The problem occurs only in docker-compose up. Everything works fine when I use docker run .... The important thing is the whole setup works correctly on my OSX installation. Unfortunately my Xenial Ubuntu doesn't want to cooperate.

I've checked the issues archive and couldn't find an answer that would help me fix the problem.

Here are my whole setup configs: docker-compose.yml:

  app:
    build: .
    volumes:
      - .:/app
    depends_on:

[michalwarda]

I've managed to fix it. I had wrong permissions and needed to run docker-compose as sudo.

[jakerobers]

I am getting this error too, and sudo fixed it. However, there should be an alternative solution to this issue.

[chrisdpeters]

@michalwarda @jakerobers I am experiencing this issue too. I think you should reopen the issue.

I am using a pretty vanilla install of Docker for Mac, and I can't remember doing anything that would require this permission level on the docker-compose command.

[cloutiertyler]

I'm getting a similar error and unfortunately sudo doesn't fix this one.

ERROR: for grafana  Cannot start service grafana: invalid header field value "oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused \"exec: \\\"/init-grafana-and-run.sh\\\": permission denied\"\n"

[wojked]

I had similar issue with my images and found this thread. In my case, It turned out that mounting the volumes is the source of confusion.

In your case, please make sure that app.conf is an existing file. ./config/nginx/app.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

This will mount your local app.conf inside of the docker container. If it does not exist on your local machine, docker will create locally an "app.conf" directory, which is not what you would usually expect in this particular case.

I hope it will help you.

[ghost]

click on icon tray Docker > Settings... > Shared Drivers and select checkbox Shared: C and D Maybe it`s help you!

[danimbrogno]

I've noticed having a CMD line in a dockerfile and a -command parameter in a docker-compose file will also trigger this error.

[bitwombat]

This issue shouldn't be closed - it still happens, and sudo isn't really a good solution when needing to point docker-compose at a remote machine for deployment.

This is with docker-compose 1.9.0.

Interestingly, if I ssh into the machine, docker-compose up -d completes without an error. So, for me, this only happens when running remotely.

Odd thing is, the mount in the error message is for a local path (in bold below) - referred to relatively in my docker-compose, so perhaps this is a relative/absolute path problem with docker-compose.

ERROR: for nginx Cannot start service nginx: invalid header field value "oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused \"process_linux.go:359: container init caused \\"rootfs_linux.go:53: mounting \\\\ "/data/www/aq/docker/nginx/default.conf \\\\" to rootfs \\\\"/var /lib/docker/aufs/mnt/8e3b80c25d85b70b78ea479a5f68373e236fdd3dafd62b241495907ace62da2f\\\\" at \\\\"/var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt /8e3b80c25d85b70b78ea479a5f68373e236fdd3dafd62b241495907ace62da2f/etc/nginx/conf.d /default.conf\\\\" caused \\\\"not a directory\\\\"\\"\"\n"

This is due to a line in docker-compose.yml trying to point nginx's configuration back to the local filesystem:

    volumes:
      - ./docker/nginx/default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

This should resolve to /home/root/docker on the remote, and /data/www/aq/docker locally. Instead, docker-compose seems to be trying to use the local path on the remote.

Happy to provide any other details/logs.

[sajadghawami]

you gotta make the docker-entrypoint.sh an executable before building the image:

chmod +x docker-entrypoint.sh

otherwise it cant be executed and you get the permission error.

[augnustin]

Same issue here. No idea how it started yet.

[augnustin]

Found it, I was not assigning options in the right order:

docker-compose run web -f docker-compose-prod.yml /bin/bash

fails while:

docker-compose run -f docker-compose-prod.yml web /bin/bash

works.

Those parameter order restrictions are quite of annoying. Never has so many issues with any Unix executable...

[EAZYE9000]

Been bashing my head into my keyboard trying to get this to work. Thanks for posting the fix!

[imarchuang]

This issue happens on my native docker on Mac too... no idea how to resolve it!

@imarchuang your seems to be a different problem!

What are you trying to mount? Seems like a folder on your host doesnt exist.

Please provide your docker-compose file

[chielsen]

I'm having the same issues. I was running a php-fpm and nginx container. Rebooted my windows machine, and it couldn't find the files anymore i was trying to include on the php-fpm container.

NOTICE: PHP message: PHP Warning:  Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Then restarted the container and got:

[romaindequidt]

"volumes" binds directories... not files.

@imarchuang bind the "config" directory => elk/elasticsearch/config with /usr/share/elasticsearch/config

@chielsen bind "php-fpm" direcotry with /etc/php/7.1/fpm/conf.d directory

[imarchuang]

Hi Romain,

Thanks for the reply, and indeed it works... so there is no way if I would like to mount a specific file only?

[chielsen]

@romaindequidt That is weird since it always worked. I got this from https://phpdocker.io/generator Mounting a file is also specified in here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/#mount-a-host-file-as-a-data-volume

I found a workaround for now, making the file readonly, adding ':ro' on the end of the line.

[sajadghawami]

You either mount a specific file, or you mount a whole folder. You cannot mount a single file into a folder!

As taken from the link provided by @chielsen you can do this:

docker run --rm -it -v ~/.bash_history:/root/.bash_history ubuntu /bin/bash

which maps the users local .bash_history file into the container with the specified filename.

[skobkin]

I just caught this error after updating of docker without restarting docker daemon.

After restarting all works normal.

[otafasd]

In my case, I've changed docker-compose.yml file. from

• /usr/local/bin/docker:/usr/bin/docker to
• /usr/bin/docker:/usr/bin/docker

It works fine.

[chielsen]

I still occasionally have this error. I actually just bought a new pc and did a clean win 10 install and still have this issue. Only way to fix it is to reboot. Is anybody looking into this?

[skobkin]

@chielsen Seems like it may happen at least after Docker update. I solved this problem for me with restarting Docker daemon.

[pig6]

when i docker run ， i get following error Error response from daemon: invalid header field value "oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused \"chdir to cwd (\\\"/data/env/tomcats/0\\\") set in config.json failed: no such file or directory\"\n" Error: failed to start containers: fd2e03516c08 and my dockerfile in following `FROM minchangchen/openjdk:latest MAINTAINER minchangchen LABEL name="tomcat" license="MIT" build-date="20170223"

This is happening with docker-toolbox on windows 7 as well:

[SamAyoub]

objectivePinta Try to restart your toolbox when you get this error. and restart your container, if you still have the same error, just use the virtual box in docker toolbox and then return to the normal one and it should fix it.

[veqryn]

Got this today. Windows 10 Pro with the Docker App (native hyper-v) 17.03.1-ce-win5 (10743) I've been running this particular container for months now without issue. Restarted laptop and the bug hasn't returned.

[astax-t]

@veqryn the capital "C" in the path looks suspicious. I believe that by default the path is mounted into the boot2docker VM with lowercase drive letter - such as /c/Users/xxx/....

I know this isn't exactly the answer, but check the path in VM properties in VirtualBox.

[veqryn]

Not using virtualbox, it is the "native" docker on windows 10 pro (hyper-v with MobyLinux or something)

[speizerj]

On windows 10 and just encountered this bug. Going into Docker settings -> shared drives and then unselecting my drive, apply, and then re-selecting (apply) seems to have fixed it. Thanks @artem-gavrylenko

[ekaitzht]

I had this error a very stupid thing:

I was doing this

COPY ./package.json /frontend

Insetead of this:

COPY ./package.json /frontend/

[smboykin]

On Windows 10 I was encountering the same issue with Docker for Windows. This started happening and I couldn't figure out why until I realized that I changed my OS credentials earlier in the day! I went into Docker Settings --> shared drives and clicked 'Reset my credentials'. I was then asked for my new credentials and everything started up fine after that.

[sinahwz]

We have two different pipelines, both are being run on the same docker, but this happens only to one of them.... !!! any ideas?

[PeterRJones]

My experience was that this is really just a poorly documented error condition. Issue (for me) was referencing a source file/dir in a VOLUME statement in my docker-compose file.

fixing that (by actually referring to existent file/dir) fixed the condition.

[greed2411]

Hi. Im having similar problem. Newb here. I tried to install this image.

It did fit well. But when i try to run,

 $ sudo docker run -ti --rm -v ~/Downloads:/Downloads bwits/pdf2htmlex --zoom 1.3 1.pdf

it throws,

docker: Error response from daemon: oci runtime error: container_linux.go:265: starting container process caused "exec: \"--zoom\": executable file not found in $PATH".

Already tried sudo didn't seem to work.

A reboot worked for me :-/

[scythargon]

Same here, reboot didn't help:( Host - ubuntu. Everything works fine, but not when I installed a gitlab-runner on it and trying to execute docker-compose in it. Have anybody figured it out already?

[Chematronix]

Fixed by editing mount folders in Kitematic. They first appeared repeated (Docker folder: /var/www/html/something, Local folder: /var/www/html/something). After editing, they appear garbled (Local folder: \d\srvT:est\something instead of \d\srv\test\something), but they work. In the error message, the unit drive is in caps (stat /D/srv/test/something: input/output error).

This on my PC running Windows 10 with Hyper-V. I don't intend to install Kitematic (+X) in my server tho, so this is more of a temporal workaround...

[AdamZaczek]

I also had this error on MacOS, resetting the docker fixed it somehow.

[obfusticatedcode]

If you're using MacOS, you should make your host's docker-entrypoint.sh executable too, not just on your Dockerfile. Got this from a tip, https://github.com/composer/docker/issues/7

[dan-lootcrate]

@obfusticatedcode this fixed my problem! I was tearing my head out wondering why this project worked great on my Windows workstation but was crapping out on my Macbook Pro. Thanks!

[qfsf0220]

In my case , yum install libseccomp libseccomp-devel.

[weholt]

I was using alpine-based images and changed /bin/bash to /bin/sh and it worked ok :-)

[pablomalo]

Want to thank @obfusticatedcode ! Problem solved. In my case, the project worked on Windows but failed upon running docker-compose up on Debian.

[ghost]

Faced and solved the same issue. For me, it was due to the service level volumes declaration in the docker-compose.yml file.

services:
  web:
    volumes:
      - ./app/:/app 

This was overriding anything I copied to /app mount point in the Dockerfile. Commenting out the volumes declaration worked.

[subhash-shah]

I could make it work on Windows 10 after running the command prompt as an administrator.

[danielcgithub]

issue for me was that I recently changed windows password, Going into Docker settings -> shared drives, un-selecting my drive, apply, and then re-selecting (apply) fixed it.
