Docker Troubleshooting

Same as Get Started section - these instructions are for Ubuntu Linux.

ERROR: Version in "./docker-compose.yml" is unsupported.

You need to update your docker-compose version:

sudo apt-get remove docker-compose
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.27.4/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http+docker://localhost - is it running?

sudo reboot

ERROR: Permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon

sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER

ERROR: mountpoint for devices not found

e.g.

OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:349: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:297: applying cgroup configuration for process caused \"mountpoint for devices not found\"": unknown

Follow These Steps:

Edit grub

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX value as below:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0"

Reconfigure grub:

grub2-mkconfig

Finally reboot the system:

sudo reboot

INTERNAL ERROR: cannot create temporary directory

From: stackoverflow Looks like the docker host run out of free space. Free up some space on your hard disk and reboot. Sometimes that may happen due to a crazy docker service running wild. You can try this to prune everything docker:

docker system prune -a --volumes
