Docker wont start - "Not starting Docker: ... is not a file"

Featured Replies

Hi,

my Docker won't start.

 

- Boot in normal mode (without Xen)

- The Cache Drive is filesystem is btrfs

 

Even "docker ps" or "docker run ***" does not work.

(responding: "Get http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.14/containers/json: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: no such file or directory")

 

Syslog (extract):

unRAID php: /etc/rc.d/rc.docker start

unRAID php: /var/lib/docker is not a mountpoint

unRAID php: Not starting Docker: /mnt/cache/Docker/ is not a file php:

 

 

Do i need to download an image or something?

 

Syslog is attached.

 

Greets,

You have no given a file name for the docker image file - just a folder name.

What unraid 6 beta version are you using?

The "Docker image" must be a file; a directory was provided.

 

I'll add a tip to this on the field.

How can i get this file?

unRAID php: Not starting Docker: /mnt/cache/Docker/ is not a file php:

 

This mean you set "/mnt/cache/Docker/" in the Docker image field, which is a directory; you should use, e.g., "/mnt/cache/docker.img" instead.

This is correct.
