I have these two containers on the same network
docker inspect my_app_net

When I try to ping the second from the first
docker container exec -it new_pizd ping new_nginx2
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "exec: \"ping\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown
This is quite strange. How can I check the docker variable $PATH? Which executable file does it refer to? EDIT
Suggested answer asks for echo PATH,but it is the same as from my Ubuntu shell
docker exec -ti new_nginx2 echo $PATH
/home/milenko/eclipse:/home/milenko/miniconda3/bin:/home/milenko/bin:/home/milenko/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
And
milenko@milenko-System-Product-Name:~$ docker exec -ti new_nginx2 bash
root@b36f350efca1:/# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
I have checked the bin,there is no ping inside
root@b36f350efca1:/bin# ls ping*
ls: cannot access 'ping*': No such file or directory
The output
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "exec: \"ping\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown
means that the ping
command was not found (either $PATH
is misconfigured, or ping
is not available, or something else).
How can I check the docker variable $PATH?
Run , it should output something like the following$ docker exec -ti <CONTAINER> echo $PATH
Edit : should be $ docker exec -ti <CONTAINER> bash -c 'echo "$PATH"'
/home/user/.bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
$PATH
is an environment variable set in *nix shells, it contains the directories where executables are looked up.
Which executable file does it refer to?
As it says in the error output, the ping
executable. Once you know the content of $PATH
, you can check what the problem is ( ping
should be in /bin
, at least on the containers I have here atm), and try to solve it.
To open an interactive console to inspect/work on the container, run $ docker exec -ti <CONTAINER> bash
.
Update
I have checked the bin,there is no ping inside
You probably have to install iputils-ping
, see the answers here , but basically (assuming your container is based on Debian or Ubuntu or similar distribution) run
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install iputils-ping
First enter the bash in the container # 1
docker container exec -it CONTAINER bash
In bash, type
apt update
then,
apt install iputils-ping
then,
exit
then type the ping command and it should work fine
eg docker container exec -it new_pizd ping new_nginx2
May be your container is not having ping . login to that container using docker exec -it <Container_Name> bash
this will open the bash inside your container. then type below commands. apt-get update;apt-get install iputils-ping;
Instead of using nginx in docker container run command as nginx image doesn't have ping command, use nginx:alpine. nginx:alpine image has ping command associated with it. Example follows
docker container run --name new_nginx2 -d --network my_app_net nginx:alpine
Step -1 docker container exec -it mynginx ping newnginx if above step giving error OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "exec: \\"ping\\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown
Step -2 docker container exec -it mynginx bash
Step-3 apt-get update
Step-4 apt-get install iputils-ping
Step -4 Exit()
Step-5 docker container exec -it mynginx ping newnginx
it will ping .
