Getting error while running docker run :Error response from daemon

Question

Getting error while running docker command. I have successfully install docker in Google Cloud VM. I have installed ubuntu 18.04 image.

After install when running docker run I am getting below error:

docker: Error response from daemon: failed to start shim: exec: "docker-containerd-shim": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown.

Answer 1

What worked for me when I got this error:

failed to start shim: exec: "docker-containerd-shim": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown

• sudo apt update
• sudo apt upgrade
• sudo reboot 0
• sudo reboot 0 (Yes, I had to reboot twice, a *** System restart required *** message was the clue.)

Then my Docker commands worked again.
