Docker-compose throwing error - docker

Hello guys I'm trying to get my vagrant up but the docker keeps on throwing an error which is given below :
Can't find a suitable configuration file in this directory or any parent. Are you in the right directory
The file is present at the root of my project. It was all working well but it just started to throw an error. Can somebody tell me what is it that I have done due to which I'm getting this error

well, I had this error but it was due to vagrant. If you are running vagrant then first of all enter into your vagrant machine using :
vagrant ssh command
and try to find the file over there. If you don't have it over there then this is the problem. That file is not being loaded over here because of which you are getting this error.
My error was coming because vagrant was not mounting the nfs partition because of which the whole project was not loading in the vagrant machine and after that, the docker command was being run. Since the project was not being loaded docker command was not able to find the required file.
If this is your problem try to mount your nfs partition first.

Run:
docker-compose -f rootoftheprojectpath/docker-compose.yml up -d
Check read permissions, typos, etc. Also check that your file is not empty
Regards

Got the same issue and fixed it by deleting %appdata%\Docker as mentioned by Github User "tocklime"
(Original Source : https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/3088)
Short solution: delete %appdata%\Docker\settings.json and let Docker to create a new one.
Take a backup of the file for the next time it gets broken.
<tl;dr>
I face this issue almost every month and I hope this will get fixed definitely.
Following tmBlackCape answer, I checked the %appdata%\Docker directory and found settings.json damaged (editor tells it's a binary file and of course it shouldn't).
I deleted the file and Docker Service (still running) created a new one with default values. If the service isn't running, just launch it again.
You could need to change settings (via GUI, as recommended) to catch your needs.
I made a backup copy of my custom settings.json so next time I can replace the broken one without losing custom configuration.
Go to the directory C:\Users-------\AppData\Roaming\Docker and delete the file settings.json . Docker takes care of rewriting it at startup.
This manipulation solved the problem for me !
Docker failed to initialize
C:\Users[USER]\AppData\Local\Docker
C:\Users[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Docker
C:\Users[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Docker Desktop
Once deleted above directory, I didn’t have to do anything else, Docker Desktop started booting up as normal.
The error message I got was not exactly the same the OP got. For me, it said Docker failed to initialize. Docker Desktop is shutting down.
TL;DR
The powershell executable was missing from my local machies PATH. I had to add C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 and docker started again.
The longer story
I tried everything that was mentined in this thread and nothing worked for me. When I looked at the task manager of my local machine to see if any docker-related process was started, I noticed that Docker Desktop.exe itself was started. However, the com.docker.backend.exe not. Docker tries to start that exe in an infinite loop, but as soon as it started it crashed again after half a second.
I then took a look into com.docker.backend.exe.log, which is located in %localappdata%\Docker\log\host and noticed the following line:
[2022-07-07T10:46:57.936079700Z][com.docker.backend.exe][F] exec: "powershell": executable file not found in %PATH%
I then went ahead and just added the path to powershell to PATH (which is C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0)`. As soon as I added that, everything started working again.
I have no idea how the path to the powershell executable got removed from PATH. I certainly did not do that myself.
This happened to me after Docker Desktop upgrade to version 3.6.0 (67351), too. (Which was surprising, because it worked before the upgrade.)
Due to the help in the top answer right now, I went to the above settings directory: %appdata%\Docker, looked at the logs and deleted/renamed the file settings.json -> Docker Desktop started immediatelly ; there had been a process retrying in the background.
In the time before that, the backend.exe.log had been all "unmarshal" something something:
settings.json: json: cannot unmarshal bool into Go struct field Content.proxyHttpMode of type string"
common/cmd/com.docker.backend/internal/settingsloader.GetSettings(0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
So, the above message 'tipped me off' as to where the actual error on start may be. Hmm...
For me the solutions here didn't help, but here's what helped.
Make sure the folder .docker/ in your home directory isn't marked as hidden in Windows. If it's hidden, Docker won't see it.
Make sure docker has Active Directory to .docker folder. For example, if the owner of .docker/ is SYSTEM and not your user, Docker won't be able to read it and crash.
For me deleting the folder %appdata%\Docker did not work.
Instead I had to run the following power shell command as admin.
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-hyper-v#enable-hyper-v-using-powershell
My windows features with running docker desktop are as follows.
It resolved me by deleting the file
C:\Users{username}\AppData\Roaming\Docker\settings.json
I had the same issue. I'm on Docker Desktop 4.8.0. The following solution worked for me:
Uninstall Docker Desktop
Delete .docker folder from C:\Users\{Username}
Delete Docker folder from C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local
Delete Docker folder from C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming
Delete Docker folder from C:\Program Files
Run CCleaner on Registry and Custom Clean
Restart Computer
Install Docker
Restart Computer
Start Docker
That's all.
Go to C:\Users\asd\AppData\Local and delete Downloaded Installation directory.
C:\Users\asd\AppData\Roaming and delete Docker and Docker Desktop directory.
Then start docker.
Didn't found the AppData folder in users[myUser] or anywhere. re-install solve it for me
latest update 4.10.1 has issues, i downgraded to 4.6.1 and it worked however i think powershell is closely linked to this issue
It happened due to local data corruption. You can check in VM log inside %appdata%\Docker.
I was able to reset and restart by renaming setting.json and then restart the Docker desktop by deleting all the previous log folder and temp folder clean. If this does not help.
Try to kill all the processes running in through the task manager
and then run Power shell in administrator mode and then shoot the command if you are using an older version of Lsmanager Restart-Service LxssManager.
On my side, uninstalling HyperV did the trick :
Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-Hypervisor
I also (as suggested in the voted answer):
Uninstalled docker desktop,
Deleted any docker related content in %APPDATA% as suggested
Delete any docker related keyys in registry (may be not necessary)
Then reinstalled it
And it solved the problem (but without hyperV removal it didn't work).
There are a few great solutions; however, it didn't work for me. Most of the "fixes" suggested here are already implemented and it just didn't work. I chose a different approach.
I looked at the docker releases and saw what was actually affected by their latest version not working (4.10). These things are normal, especially if the software engine has been updated.
Going through Docker releases, the latest release that didn't touch the Docker engine is 4.8.0. I downloaded and works great.
Removing settings.json file or %AppData%\Docker folder did not work for me. After uninstalling/installing the docker, the issue was solved. (Note: I couldn't try other possible solutions that are required the admin privilege)
The below Steps worked for me,
Step 01:
Navigate to the below-mentioned paths and delete the below-mentioned directories,
C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Docker directory
C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Docker directory
C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Docker Desktop directory
Then restart the docker again
If you didn't find the AppData folder in users[USERNAME] or anywhere
Step 02: Type the below path in the "Run" to directly open the app data location for you
%appdata%\Docker
Then Delete the below-mentioned directories,
C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Docker directory
C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Docker directory
C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Docker Desktop directory
Then restart the docker again
Note: If these steps do not help you. Try to kill all the processes running in through the task manager. And again delete the directories and start the docker
if you still can't find the issue you may use this trick and i'm 100% sure this will work
first check your operating system is up to date means no remaining updates if you pass this step then come to 2 step open window command prompt in run as administrator
then type wsl --install then type wsl --list --online then wsl --install -d Debian
then open docker if error come
then install wsl 2 linux https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package
then restart docker or your machine and then if error also occur then type then wsl --update i hope this will work Regard : Hammad Khadim

Need to remove symbolic link I created for /var/lib/docker/ but can't find it. Unable to use docker and feel helpless

I'm feeling really terrible atm so any help would be really appreciated. I kept running out of space when downloading docker images on /var, so I decided I needed to change the location for where docker was installing images. I tried several methods but had no success. First, I tried creating daemon.json in etc/docker and mapping data-root to a place with more storage (data2/docker). I stopped docker, moved everything over, made the file, but no dice. The docker daemon wouldn't start.
Then, I saw this method https://stackoverflow.com/a/49743270/13034460 which involves creating a symbolic link between /var/lib/docker and the new directory (data2/docker). I followed his instructions:
Much easier way to do so:
Stop docker service: sudo systemctl stop docker
Move existing docker directory to new location sudo mv /var/lib/docker/ /path/to/new/docker/
Create symbolic link
sudo ln -s /path/to/new/docker/ /var/lib/docker
Start docker service
sudo systemctl start docker
Well, this didn't work for me. I can't find the error message b/c it's too far up in my terminal, but it was along the lines of "you don't have enough storage/we don't know where to store this image". /data2/docker should have tons of storage so that can't be the issue.
But the big problem now is that this symbolic link exists and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I tried removing everything related to docker on the computer, uninstalling, then reinstalling docker (which always used to work for me if there were any issues). But when I reinstall, it won't even run docker hello-world b/c of the link (I think). I get a message:
docker: open /data2/docker/tmp/GetImageBlob289478576: no such file or directory
So...it's looking in data2/docker because of the symbolic link (I assume), but that directory doesn't exist anymore. But neither does /var/lib/docker! All I want is to delete this link and get everything back to fresh defaults. I can worry about the storage issue another time. If I can't use docker at all, I'm so screwed. I've tried looking in every directory to find the link using -ls -l, but I can't find it. I used the exact code that the above references when I created the link (just my paths instead).
I would be so grateful to anyone who could help--I'm so lost on this. Thank you!

fail2ban won't start using nextcloud.log with jail

I have nextcloud installed and working fine in a docker but want to have fail2ban monitor the log files for brute force attempts. I know nextcloud has it's own baked in but it just throttles the log in attempts and I would like to all out ban them (I also have this problem with other containers as well). The docker-compose is set to create the nextcloud.log file to /mnt/nextcloud/log/nextcloud.log. I followed this guide to create the jail
https://www.c-rieger.de/nextcloud-installation-guide-ubuntu/#c06
Fail2ban is running on the host machine however, fail2ban fails to start with:
[447]: ERROR Failed during configuration: Have not found any log file for nextcloud jail
[447]: ERROR Async configuration of server failed
Thinking it was simply a permission issue, I chowned everything to root and tried to start again but still the service won't start. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help!
The docker-compose is set to create the nextcloud.log file to /mnt/nextcloud/log/nextcloud.log
Be sure this file really exists and your jail.local has correct entry logpath:
[nextcloud]
...
logpath = /mnt/nextcloud/log/nextcloud.log
You can also check resulting config using dump:
fail2ban-client -d | grep 'nextcloud.*logpath'
But I'm still not sure the error message you provide was throwed by fail2ban, because its error messages look different, see https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/commit/27947407bc7910f0f50972113218ebc73c4a22c7
It should be something like:
-have not found a log file for nextcloud log
+Have not found any log file for nextcloud jail

docker-compose caches run results

I'm having an issue with docker-compose where I'm passing a file into the container when it's run. The issue is that it doesn't seem to recognize when the file has been changed and serves the saved result back indefinitely until I change the name of the file.
An example (modified names for brevity):
jono#macbook:~/myProj% docker-compose run vpn conf.opvn
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in conf.opvn:71: AXswRE+
5aN64mYiPSatOACC6+bISv8RcDPX/lMYdLwe8zQY6qWtbrjFXrp2 (2.3.8)
Then I change the file, save it, and run the command again - exact same output.
Then without changing anything I do this:
jono#macbook:~/myProj% cp conf.opvn newconf.opvn
And when I run $ docker-compose run vpn newconf.opvn it works. Seems really silly.
I'm working with Tmux and Mac if there is some way that affects it. Is this the expected behaviour? I couldn't find anything documenting this on the docker-compose homepage.
EDIT:
Specifically I'm using this repo from the amazing Jess.
The image you are using is using volume in order to mount your current directory. Basically the file conf.opvn is copied to the docker container.
When you change the file, the container doesn't see that change, but it does pick up the rename (which the container sees as a new file). This most probably is due to user rights of the file and the user rights of the folder in the docker container where this file is mounted. Try changing the file's permissions to 777 before beginning the process and check again.
You can find a discussion about this in the official forum of docker

"docker-compose up" fails with error

I want to work on a project, but I need to use docker for running the app, but the docker-compose up command fails with this error:
System error: exec: "./wait_to_start": stat ./wait_to_start:
no such file or directory
The wait_to_start command is an executable python script in the subfolder backend/.
I need to determine why it cannot be executed. Either it's been searched in the wrong path, or there are access right problems, or maybe the wrong python version is used.
Can I debug it with details, or login with SSH and check the files on the virtual machine? I'm too unexperienced with Docker...
You can either set the "workdir" metadata to make sure you are in the right place when you start a container or simply call /backend/wait_to_start instead of ./wait_to_start so you remove the need to be in the proper directory.
Do debug with docker-compose I would do this:
docker-compose run --entrypoint bash <servicename>
That should give you a prompt and let you inspect the file and working directory, so see what's wrong.
