Why does Docker say it can't execute 'bash"?

I'm using Docker on MacOSX (with Boot2Docker).

I can run images from Docker Hub.

However, when I try to run one of my own images like this:

docker run -P mylocalimage

or

docker run -P mylocalimage bin/a3-write-back

or

...

I get:

docker "env: can't execute 'bash': No such file or directory"

I guess that it can't find a bash binary to execute in the container, but why?

The base image is errordeveloper/oracle-jdk

Thanks for any help.

Ashley.

Your image is based on busybox, which doesn't have a bash shell. It does have a shell at /bin/sh.

So this doesn't work:

$ docker run -it busybox bash
exec: "bash": executable file not found in $PATH2015/01/15 11:09:08 Error response from daemon:
Cannot start container a5074af2f81f8cc1eb0076f4ec9ada5f87be1440006f54a9b06ab701fc60176a: exec:
"bash": executable file not found in $PATH

But this does:

$ docker run -it busybox /bin/sh
/ #

There may be further complications due to your entrypoint script, but you can always override that.

This won't work if your image has a defined ENTRYPOINT. For these cases use: ' docker run -it --entrypoint /bin/bash '

How to override docker run with bash if your image has an ENTRYPOINT defined:

docker run -it --entrypoint /bin/bash <your-image>
