Docker failing to start no sure what to try next

Featured Replies

So for some reason, docker is failing to start. I get the following errors:

 

Jun  8 21:48:55 Alexandria unraid-api[14239]: ✔️ UNRAID API started successfully!
Jun  8 21:48:55 Alexandria unraid-api[14239]: ⚠️ Caught exception: connect ECONNREFUSED /var/run/docker.sock
Jun  8 21:48:55 Alexandria unraid-api[14239]: ⚠️ UNRAID API crashed with exit code 1

 

I have wiped my cache drive, reformatted it and rebooted but still no luck. Any suggestions?

* disable the docker service

* re-enable the docker service

 

This should create the needed subdirectories and re-download libvirt

 

cross your fingers 😁

Sadly this was the first thing I tried, along with reboots.

Too bad.

I assume you have entered a valid path to appdata and docker and use ipvlan with bridgeing ?

As an aside, why do you have 150GB allocated to the docker.img file?   

 

The default of 20GB is enough for most people as when properly set up this only holds the binaries for docker containers.  If you increased the size because you run out of space it is typically because there is a path not mapped correctly for at least one container so files are being written internally to the image rather than to a location on the host.

Is there an easy way to figure out what caused this issue? I did increase it because it was filling up, but I am not sure what went wrong or where

Check the mappings for all container paths, that's the most common reason for this.

Container Size on the docker tab will show you where the space is being taken up after you see the size utilized growing in the dashboard for docker
