Error while running a container using docker

Question

I have installed docker in my machine I could successfully pull images from the repository and the pulled images are clearly listed when I see the list of images pulled. The docker service was also started using

sudo service docker start

However, when I try to run the same using the command,

sudo docker run -it ubuntu:12.04 

I am getting the following error

docker: Error response from daemon: Container command '/bin/bash' not found or does not exist..

The issue remains the same for any image that I have tried with What could be the reason for this issue?

Answer 1

It depends on your version of docker, but check if you have issue 23411 , where adding a workdir is needed:

sudo docker run --workdir /var -it ubuntu:12.04 

There seem to be some recent bug in start.go , and a PR in progress .
