I have built a docker Container named ubuntu-comp and run it with a volume by this command:
sudo docker run -v /home/vivek/PersonalSet/OJBh/Judge/folderrun/:/home/folderrun/ -d ubuntu-comp
This command runs successfully. Now I want to execute a command to run a file called c.out and store the output (STDOUT) in a text file called c.txt. Both files are stored in the volume directory.
Normally I'd use the command /home/folderrun/c.out > /home/folderrun/c.txt. This works fine if I run the Command in interactive mode, i.e. with the -it flag.
but when i run the following command:
sudo docker exec -it focused_wilbur /home/folderrun/c.out > /home/folderrun/c.txt
I get the following error:
bash: /home/folderrun/c.txt: No such file or directory
You can do it by passing your command to /bin/sh like this
sudo docker exec -it focused_wilbur /bin/sh -c "/home/folderrun/c.out > /home/folderrun/c.txt"
So recently came across this weird case where I am trying to access file in my local dir into my container.
When I run the following command on terminal it runs fine and shows the expected list of file
docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/mnt/data -w /mnt/data-sink artprod.dev.abc.com/org/cli ls
But when I try to run this via makefile it shows nothing,(I run make in the same path where I run the docker cmd in the previous step)
docker-publish: build
echo "Publishing $(APP_NAME) snapshot $(VERSION)"
docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/mnt/data -w /mnt/data-sink artprod.dev.abc.com/org/cli ls
$(shell pwd) worked simply $(pwd) in make didnt do the shell interpolation.
Hello I m trying to follow the step by step guid to build jpeg xl (I m on windows and try to build a x64 version for linux)
after:
docker run -u root:root -it --rm -v C:\Users\fred\source\tools\jpegxl\jpeg-xl-master -w /jpeg-xl gcr.io/jpegxl/jpegxl-builder
I have the container running but I don't know how to run the command inside :
CC=clang-6.0 CXX=clang++-6.0 ./ci.sh opt
I tried CC=clang-6.0 CXX=clang++-6.0 ./ci.sh opt and I get ./ci.sh: No such file or directory no command seems to work when I do "ls" it display nothing
Does someone knows how to get this to build?
Make sure that you start a bash terminal inside the container:
docker run -it <image> /bin/bash
I believe /bin/bash is missing from your docker run command. As a result, you are executing the command for clang inside your own environment, not the container.
You can set the environment variables by using -e
Example
-e CC=clang-6.0 -e CXX=clang++-6.0
The full command to log in into your container:
docker run -u root:root -it --rm -e CC=clang-6.0 -e CXX=clang++-6.0 -v C:\Users\fred\source\tools\jpegxl\jpeg-xl-master -w /jpeg-xl gcr.io/jpegxl/jpegxl-builder /bin/bash
They have updated the image without updating the command so the command is
CC=clang-7 CXX=clang++-7 ./ci.sh opt
The discution is here:
Can't build from docker image "Unknown clang version"
I have dockerized an app which has ffmpeg installed in it via libav-tools. The app launches without problem, yet the problem occured when fluent-ffmpeg npm module tried to execute ffmpeg command, which was not found. When I wanted to check the version of the ffmpeg and the linux distro set up in the image, I used sudo docker exec -it c44f29d30753 "lsb_release -a" command, but it gave the following error: OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:296: starting container process caused "exec: \"lsb_release -a\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown
Then I realized that it gives me the same error with all the commands that I try to run inside the image or the container.
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:296: starting container process caused "exec: \"ffmpeg -a\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown
This is my Dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu:xenial
FROM node
RUN apt-get -y update
RUN apt-get --yes install libav-tools
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package.json /usr/src/app
RUN npm install
COPY . /usr/src/app
RUN npm run build
ENV NODE_ENV production
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["npm", "run", "start:prod"]
I would kindly ask for your help. Thank you very much!
This happened to me on windows. See below for any of the commands that match your case.
NOTE
You will need to run the commands that match your case below using the correct shell in your container i.e. /bin/bash or /bin/sh. Using sh instead of bash or vice versa will also give you this error. So, confirm that you are using the right shell, or just try both shells and see the one that works.
For these examples, I will be using sh
On Windows CMD (not switching to bash):
docker exec -it <container-id> /bin/sh
On Windows CMD (after switching to bash):
docker exec -it <container-id> //bin//sh
or
winpty docker exec -it <container-id> //bin//sh
On Git Bash:
winpty docker exec -it <container-id> //bin//sh
For Windows users, the reason is documented in the ReleaseNotes file of Git and it is well explained here - Bash in Git for Windows: Weirdness... :
The cause is to do with trying to ensure that posix paths end up being
passed to the git utilities properly. For this reason, Git for Windows
includes a modified MSYS layer that affects command arguments.
Linux
docker exec -it <container-id> /bin/sh
docker exec -it <containerId> sh
I had this due to a simple ordering mistake on my end. I called
[WRONG] docker run <image> <arguments> <command>
When I should have used
docker run <arguments> <image> <command>
Same resolution on similar question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50762266/6278
If #papigee does solution doesn't work, maybe you don't have the permissions.
I tried #papigee solution but does't work without sudo.
I did :
sudo docker exec -it <container id or name> /bin/sh
Get rid of your quotes around your command. When you quote it, docker tries to run the full string "lsb_release -a" as a command, which doesn't exist. Instead, you want to run the command lsb_release with an argument -a, and no quotes.
sudo docker exec -it c44f29d30753 lsb_release -a
Note, everything after the container name is the command and arguments to run inside the container, docker will not process any of that as options to the docker command.
For others with this error, the debugging steps I'd recommend:
Verify the order of your arguments. Everything after the container name/id is a command to run. So you don't want docker exec $cid -it /bin/sh because that will try to run the command -it in the $cid container. Instead you want docker exec -it $cid /bin/sh
Look at the command that is failing, everything in the quotes after the exec error (e.g. lsb_release -a in "exec: \"lsb_release -a\") is the binary trying to be run. Make sure that binary exists in your image. E.g. if you are using alpine or busybox, bash may not exist, but /bin/sh does. And that binary is the full string, e.g. you would be able to run something like ls "/usr/bin/lsb_release -a" and see a file with the space and -a in the filename.
If you're using Windows with Git bash and see a long path prefixed on that command trying to be run, that's Git bash trying to do some automatic conversions of /path/to/binary, you can disable that by doubling the first slash, e.g. //bin/sh.
If the command you're running is a script in the container, check the first line of that script, containing the #!/path/to/interpreter, make sure that interpreter exists in the image, at that path, and that the script is saved with linux linefeeds (lf, not cr+lf, you won't want the \r showing in the file when read in linux because that becomes part of the command it's looking to execute).
If you don't have a full path to the binary in the command you're running, check the value of $PATH in the image, and verify the binary exists within one of those directories. E.g. you can docker exec -it $cid /bin/sh and echo $PATH and type some_command to verify some_command is found in your path.
If your command is not an executable, but rather a shell builtin, you'll need to execute it with a shell instead of directly. That can be done with docker exec -it $cid /bin/sh -c "your_shell_builtin"
I solved this with this commands:
Run the container:
docker run -d <image-name>
List containers:
docker ps -a
Use the container ID:
docker exec -it <container-id> /bin/sh
I was running into this issue and it turned out that I needed to do this:
docker run ${image_name} bash -c "${command}"
You can use another shell to execute the same command:
Error I get when i execute:
[jenkins#localhost jenkins_data]$ docker exec -it mysqldb \bin\bash
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:345: starting container process caused "exec: \"binsh\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown
Solution:
When I execute it with below command, using bash shell it works:
[jenkins#localhost jenkins_data]$ docker exec -it mysqldb bash
root#<container-ID>:/#
What I did to solve was simply:
Run docker ps -a
Check for the command of the container (mine started with /bin/sh)
Run docker-compose exec < name_of_service > /bin/sh (if that is what started your command
This is for solving when using docker compose
I was running a container in a docker-compose.
entrypoint:
- ls
worked, but
entrypoint:
- ls tests
did not.
It's because the arguments have to be on separate lines.. 🤦♂
entrypoint:
- ls
- tests
This has happened to me. My issue was caused when I didn't mount Docker file system correctly, so I configured the Disk Image Location and re-bind File sharing mount, and this now worked correctly.
For reference, I use Docker Desktop in Windows.
In my case i saved the docker image and instead of load-ing it on the other machine i imported it which are very different and lead me to an error similar to this.
you have to run like below:
docker exec sh -c 'echo "$ENV_NAME"'
I had windows line endings in a shell script. change to LF dos2unix
If you got this error when using the docker run command, you may have made a simple syntax error.
Example
Incorrect:
docker run myimage -p 3838:3838
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim: OCI runtime create
failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused:
exec: "-p": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown.
ERRO[0000] error waiting for container: context canceled
Correct (options go before image name):
docker run -p 3838:3838 myimage
I created Dockerfile to build my image called aii.
FROM docker.io/centos:latest
#Set parameters
ENV BinDir /usr/local/bin
ENV RunFile start-aii.sh
ADD ${RunFile} ${BinDir}
#Some other stuff
...
CMD ${RunFile}
When I run the image with the following command:
docker run -it -v <some-volume-mapping> aii
it's works great (default operation of running CMD command of start-aii.sh).
Now, if I try to override this default behavior and to run the image with the same script implicitly (and add another arg) I'm getting the following error:
docker run -it -v <some-volume-mapping> aii start-aii.sh kafka
exec format error
docker: Error response from daemon: Cannot start container b3f4f3bde04d862eb8bc619ea55b7061ce78ace8f1984a12f6ec681877d7d926: [9] System error: exec format error.
I also tried: only script (without argument)
docker run -it -v <some-volume-mapping> aii start-aii.sh
and full path to script
docker run -it -v <some-volume-mapping> aii /usr/local/bin/start-aii.sh
but the same error appear.
Another info:
docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
2488a4dd7014 aii "start-aii.sh kafka" 3 seconds ago Created tiny_payne
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Had the same issue, fixed it by adding #!/bin/sh at the top of the file instead of having other comments.
Try to start bash before using your script, and use the --rm flag in order to destroy the instance once the job is ended, like that :
docker run -it --rm -v <some-volume-mapping> aii /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/start-aii.sh
If you created the file start-aii.sh in the Windows editor. After that, this file was added to the docker image. You should check this file in a Linux editor, e.g. nano. In my case there were non-printable characters at the beginning of the file. I removed them and my script ran successfully.
