Docker error : mountpoint not found

Question

I've got problem running docker on ArchLinux. I pull debian base image, and when i try to launch an interactive bash prompt with that command :

# docker run -it debian:latest /bin/bash

Docker give me this error :

2014/06/24 22:49:11 Error response from daemon: Cannot start container 94d0c07b428c63205390d3b2ac49896038fe27af9c4118d9d25decd8d9201dae: mountpoint not found

I'm new with docker, I don't really know what I'm supposed to do.

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

Most likely your kernel is missing some modules that docker needs

run lxc-checkconfig and make sure you are not missing anything.

I guess you will find Multiple /dev/pts instances: missing.

Just update your kernel and enable all the required modules including user namespaces, cgroup, and support for multiple dev/pts instances

Adding this for reference purposes as I had this error message on Wheezy. Doing this

apt-get install libcgroup1

fixed things for me.

Answer 3

There is some problem with current version of Docker.

Here you can find some comments about similar problem. https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/6619

I guess the latest image is broken - I can't run it either.

You can try with ubuntu or debian:stable:)

# docker run -it debian:stable /bin/bash

or

# docker run -it ubuntu /bin/bash
