Question

Using ubuntu 18.04 after upgrading docker to "Docker version 18.09.0-ce-tp5, build 9eb3d36"

Everything works fine before updating docker

Getting following error on docker-compose up:

ERROR: for mysql_1 Cannot start service mysql: OCI runtime create failed: unable to retrieve OCI runtime error (open /run/containerd/io.containerd.runtime.v1.linux/moby/242793c2e7ad05e93ccff53ae37e5d8b054a72f9c2076c1b480f33929dbb45aa/log.json: no such file or directory): exec: "docker-runc": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown

docker info gives

Using ubuntu 18.04 after upgrading docker to "Docker version 18.09.0-ce-tp5, build 9eb3d36"

The TP# releases are pre beta (I suspect it stands for technical preview). These will have issues, and there were lots of changes with the containerd integration. You can try upgrading to beta1, or go back to the stable 18.06.1 release. You can see the releases here:

Answer 2

Issue: I faced the same issue.

Solution first i restart docker,but when i tried to start my container i was having Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container with id exists:xxxxxxxxxx

but in ps -a it was showing nothing. while i was able to run the new container using the same id.

than tried reboot my server and it is working fine.
