docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process

Question

I am trying to build this dockerfile and then run it but I'm getting this error docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "./deployment-service": permission denied: unknown.

This is my docker file, I've created the volumes and networks

FROM golang:1.19.2-alpine as builder

RUN apk add bash

RUN apk add --no-cache openssh-client ansible git

RUN mkdir /workspace
WORKDIR /workspace

COPY go.mod ./
COPY go.sum ./

RUN go mod download

COPY . ./

RUN go build -o deployment-service cmd/deployment-service/main.go

FROM alpine:latest
RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates
WORKDIR /root/

COPY --from=builder /workspace .

ARG DEFAULT_PORT=8080
ENV PORT $DEFAULT_PORT

EXPOSE $PORT

CMD ["./deployment-service"]

this is my run command,

docker run --name=${CONTAINER_NAME} -d --rm -p ${PORT}:80 -e DEPLOYMENT_SERVICE_DATABASE_CONNECTION_URI=mongodb://${MONGO_USERNAME}:${MONGO_PASSWORD}@${MONGO_CONTAINER_NAME}:27017/ -e DEPLOYMENT_SERVICE_SERVER_SECRET_KEY=${SECRET_KEY} -e ANSIBLE_CONFIG='./jam-ansible/ansible.cfg' -e DEPLOYMENT_SERVICE_ANSIBLE_SUBMISSION_ROOT=${DEPLOYMENT_ROOT} -v ${DEPLOYMENT_VOLUME}:${DEPLOYMENT_ROOT} --network=${NETWORK_NAME} server:latest

help to get my issue solved.

Answer 1

It seems lack of permission to execute deployment-service. You can add

RUN chmod +x deployment-service

before CMD ["./deployment-service"]

Answer 2

Sometimes you may end up getting this error because you have not specified an entrypoint for your container. You can do that using ENTRYPOINT inside the Dockerfile

Below is a .NET example:

ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "application.dll"]

Answer 3

looks like you need to edit the permissions of the deployment-service file.

try running

chmod a+x ./deployment-service

in the terminal then trying again.

Answer 4

In my case, I got the below error while trying to run the container using the command:

docker container run -p portnumber:portnumber amazoncorretto:17-alpine-jdk

ERROR:

docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "bash": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown.

• I used amazoncorretto:17-alpine-jdk docker image and in dockerfile instead of bash, I changed it to sh and it worked as bash didn't work with alpine.

Command changed from:

CMD ["bash", "-c", "java -jar test.jar"]

to:

CMD ["sh", "-c", "java -jar test.jar"]

Answer 5

Run docker system prune -a clear all cache and stopped containers and then try starting the docker. It'll start.
