portland-metro example elastic create error

[yuan7220]

I am in the end of my rope to figure out a solution. Appreciate assistance on solving the error below while running pelias elastic create in the portland-metro example on ubuntu 18 on WSL.

ERROR: Cannot start service schema: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:344: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:424: container init caused \"rootfs_linux.go:58: mounting \\"/home/may/code/docker/projects/portland-metro/pelias.json\\" to rootfs \\"/var/lib/docker/overlay2/7d0491bd244a3a80f47d9f53092113341ab3e0b0c0ea42afd68278f022e94a63/merged\\" at \\"/var/lib/docker/overlay2/7d0491bd244a3a80f47d9f53092113341ab3e0b0c0ea42afd68278f022e94a63/merged/code/pelias.json\\" caused \\"not a directory\\"\"": unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)?

Please post the output of ls -lah /home/may/code/docker/projects/portland-metro/pelias.json

Thanks for asking. The output for ls -lah is -rw-rw-rw- 1 may may 4.9K Jul 30 01:28 /home/may/code/docker/projects/portland-metro/pelias.json

I thought that the error message might suggest that ubunto cannot access /var/lib/docker. I verified that with ls -l. I added the following lines to ~/.bashrc export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/mnt/c/Users/may/.docker/machine/certs export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFU=1

source ~/.bashrc

then I run pelias elastic create again. Below is the new error message. Any idea how to solve it? Thanks.

What is confusing is that Docker for Windows does not use TLS for docker daemon

This post seems to suggest the need to specify TCP socket in python build in the program development. Will I be able to do something on ubuntu to set TCP socket?

Sorry I'm not familiar with Windows, I haven't used it for about 15 years now 🙁

We don't officially support Windows as a target platform for Pelias, but I suspect it should 'just work' if you can configure the VM in a way that it thinks its just running Linux.

From what I can see above, you're having a configuration issue, try running the most basic 'hello world' example:

echo 'world' > /tmp/hello.txt

docker run --rm -it -v '/tmp/hello.txt:/tmp/hello.txt' ubuntu ls -lah /tmp/hello.txt

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Aug 13 11:01 /tmp/hello.txt

On my Mac this works fine, I created the hello.txt file locally and then mounted it using -v inside the container, finally, I'm just listing the file from inside the container.

If that's working fine then you can try the same thing in docker-compose and see if that's the issue.

Sorry I can't provide any more assistance, it appears to be a general issue and not Pelias-specific.
