"docker-compose up" fails with error - docker

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.

dotnet web application runs in docker container but is not active

I've tried editing the dockerfile, i get a successful build and running the container but the container doesn't reflect when i do "docker ps". i get this error when i check the container logs "Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
Possible reasons for this include:
You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
You intended to execute a .NET Core program, but dotnet-QuintAPI.dll does not exist.
You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.
"
Figured it out, the executable file specified in the docker file was wrongly spelled. Once that was corrected, everything worked perfect.

Apache PredictionIO - Docker run failed

I have been trying http://predictionio.apache.org/install/install-docker/ this tutorial. I have successfully built Docker image however when I try to run docker run i get the Can't open /etc/predictionio/pio-env.sh error.
docker build -t predictionio/pio pio
docker run -ti predictionio/pio
PS: If I comment out the last line CMD ["sh", "/usr/bin/pio_run"] I can build and run docker image successfully. I can open the file too from docker bash.
I think you need to grant permissions to execute this file. add the following line at the end of your Dockerfile
RUN chmod +x pio_run.sh
also, you might need to change CMD to ENTRYPOINT like following:
ENTRYPOINT ["sh","/usr/bin/pio_run.sh"]
Your output states you are running Windows. Did you use the default command prompt or did you use docker terminal? I had the same error messages in the past on Windows but mysteriously it disappeared after trying the tutorial again. I am not sure what I did different except I might possibly used docker instead of the default command prompt...
Could you also try using docker-compose instead of plain docker commands as described in the tutorial?
Ensure your storage (Postgres, MySQL or ElasticSearch) is running before starting PIO as well.
Just resolved it on my machine.
When you cloned repository on Windows, git converted end of line symbols from Unix-style (\n) to Windows style (\r\n).
You need to open file C:\wherever-you-cloned-pio-repository\predictionio\docker\pio\pio_run and change it back (for e.g. using Visual Studio Code, or Notepad++). Then you need to rebuild the image and it should work.
Also for the future you may want to disable automatic conversion Disable git EOL Conversions

Dockerd with Chocolatey

I am using Chocolatey to install Docker.
When I originally run the following command:
choco install docker
and try to run the "docker --version" command, everything goes as expected.
Docker version 17.10.0-ce, build f4ffd25
When I try to run "dockerd" command, it shows as not being part of my path.
'dockerd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
Looking at the PATH variable, and navigating to where Chocolatey stores the executables, dockerd.exe is not present while docker.exe is. Am I missing something in instructing Chocolatey in adding dockerd?
The reason I need the dockerd executable is so that I can limit the number of concurrent downloads, as shown in the Docker documentation.
This is a decision that the package maintainer(s) for Docker have made. If you have a look here:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/docker#files
You will see that there is a dockerd.exe.ignore file. This file is used to instruct Chocolatey to explicitly not create what is referred to as a shim file, which would make it work from the command line, in the same way as Docker does.
My best suggestion would be to reach out to the maintainers of that package to ask them why this was done, and to perhaps get it changed. You can do this by clicking on the Contact Maintainers link on this page:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/docker
As a workaround, you could add the following path to your Windows PATH environment variable:
C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\docker\tools\docker
Which would allow it to work.

Docker-compose throwing error

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

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
