ERRO[0001] error waiting for container: context canceled

Question

Getting error while running docker image. It seems to look like the problem is on my pc.

I'm using MacOS 10.13.6. I have followed steps to create a docker image.

Sanjeet:server-api sanjeet$ docker build -t apicontainer .

Inside Dockerfile

FROM alpine:3.6

CMD ["/bin/bash"]

Answer 1

alpine does not include bash by default. If you want to include bash, you should add RUN apk add --no-cache bash in your Dockerfile.

Steps to Stop the Running Docker Container Forcefully

docker ps
//copy the CONTAINER ID of the running process, ex: CONTAINER ID: 37146513b713
docker kill 37146513b713
docker rm 37146513b713

Answer 3

alpine does not provide glibc. alpine is that small because it uses a stripped down version of libstdc called musl.libc.org.

So we'll check statically linked dependencies using ldd command.

$ docker run -it <image name> /bin/sh
$ cd /go/bin
$ ldd scratch

Check the linked static files, do they exist on that version of alpine? If the do not from, the binaries perspective, it did not find the file-- and will report File not found.

The following step depends on what binaries were missing, you can look it up on the internet on how to install them.

Add RUN apk add --no-cache libc6-compat to your Dockerfile to add libstdc in some Golang alpine image based Dockerfiles.

In you case the solution is to either

• disable CGO : use CGO_ENABLED=0 while building
• or add RUN apk add --no-cache libc6-compat to your Dockerfile
• or do not use golang:alpine
