Docker run does not display any output - docker

Question

I installed docker on a raspberry-pi (Connected via ssh)
Installation is successful.
But running docker run hello-world produce no output.
Note on very first time I got additional messages regard installing image
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world

Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
But there is no actual output from hello world script
Note I installed docker using command curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
I tried following command too
sudo usermod -aG docker pi
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo docker run hello-world
Tried following commands docker ps -a

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue on a Raspberry Pi 1B+ (armv6l). Inspired by #JanDrábek's answer, the first observation is that the hello-world image would indeed be one supporting ARM, yet only after using hypriot/armhf-hello-world instead did I get the expected output:
$ uname -a
Linux 4.1.19+ #858 Tue Mar 15 15:52:03 GMT 2016 armv6l GNU/Linux
$ docker run hello-world # No output
$ docker image inspect hello-world | grep Architecture # Arch looks right though
"Architecture": "arm",
$ docker run hypriot/armhf-hello-world # This does the job
Hello from Docker.
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

run:
docker ps -a
and check if you can see the exited container.
take the container ID from the output and type
docker logs <ID>
this will allow you to see the logs.
if you want to see the output in the first place when you run it add -it flags to the run command
edit:
I tried in on my machine:
docker run -it hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
maybe your output is redirected to some other stream.
try using :
docker run -it hello-world > ./test.txt 2>&1
after that check if the file has any content

I was having similar issue, my solution was definitely very naive but I basically removed all container and images and then tried again. It worked.
# Delete all containers
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
# Delete all images
docker rmi $(docker images -q)

I recently had same problem on my freshly installed Fedora 28 (up-to-date)... the containers all exited with exit code 139, the docker events said that it died, and docker logs said nothing.
My solution was to update the docker (or switch to CE edition) as the installed docker version was 1.13 which is quite old. (The tutorial for fedora https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/fedora/)
Also I have came across one potential thing to check... is your container compatible with your architecture (raspberry is ARM isn't it?) Use docker image inspect <image> search for Architecture.
