I'm using Windows-10 and using GitBash entering in the command
$ docker run -ti ubuntu:latest bash
And it gives me this error message
"the input device is not a TTY. If you are using mintty, try prefixing the command with 'winpty'"
And so I placed in this command to switch to winpty
$ winpty docker.exe run -it --rm ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash
And it still doesn't work. I know my ports are running correctly, and I installed ubuntu correctly.
At windows 10 and git bash this works for me:
winpty docker exec -it "CONTAINTER ID" sh
I have bash script that performing some Docker commands:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "Create and start database"
cd ../../database
cp -R ../../../scripts/db db/
docker build -t a_database:1 .
docker run --rm --name a_db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=docker -d -p 5432:5432 a_database:1
docker network connect --ip 172.23.0.5 a_network a_db
sleep 15
echo "Initialize database"
docker exec a_db /root/db/dev/init_db.sh
echo "Cleanup"
rm -rf db
On mac everything works fine, problem occurs when I try to start this script on windows machine. When I'm running it I receive an error:
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:344: starting container process caused "exec: \"C:/Program Files/Git/root/db/dev/init_db.sh\": stat C:/Program Files/Git/root/db/dev/init_db.sh: no such file or directory": unknown
Directory and script (/root/db/dev/init_db.sh) exist inside docker container. I don't know why it tries to find script on host machine? Also when I perform command:
docker exec a_db /root/db/dev/init_db.sh
directly in command line (on windows) script is executed. Any idea what is wrong and why it's trying to use git ?
I had a similar problem... absolute paths with windows variables fixed mine:
$HOME/docker/...
Thanks to igaul answer I was able to run this on windows machine. There were two problems:
Path to script in docker container. Instead of:
docker exec a_db /root/db/dev/init_db.sh
should be:
docker exec a_db root/db/dev/init_db.sh
Line endings in init_db.sh. On windows machine after pulling repository from bitbucket line ending of init_db.sh was setup to CRLF what caused problem. I've added .gitattribute file to my repo and now init_db.sh file always has LF endings.
It's not a bug in Docker, but the way mingw handles these paths. Here is some more information about that "feature"; http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion. Prefixing the path with a double slash (//bin/bash) should prevent this, or you can set MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1, see How to stop MinGW and MSYS from mangling path names given at the command line

Error "The input device is not a TTY"
(16 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
After I run this
docker run --rm -v "/c/users/vipul rao/documents/github/wappalyzer:/opt/wappalyzer" -it wappalyzer/dev
I am getting the following error
the input device is not a TTY. If you are using mintty, try prefixing the command with 'winpty'
What should I use here? I am running Docker on Windows 8 in MINGW64.
As suggested by the error message you obtain, you should try to use winpty (which is installed by default with Git-Bash) and thus run:
winpty docker run --rm -v "/c/users/vipul rao/documents/github/wappalyzer:/opt/wappalyzer" -it wappalyzer/dev
If this works, you may want to set a Bash alias to avoid manually prepending winpty all the time:
echo "alias docker='winpty docker'" >> ~/.bashrc
or
echo "alias docker='winpty docker'" >> ~/.bash_profile
If you are using Git Bash you can try like this
winpty docker run -it ubuntu
This problem occurs when running with -it option using bash terminal on windows. You can use Powershell to resolve this issue.
This works for me.
I am using git bash on windows
winpty docker-compose exec app ls -l
Remove -it from the command. If you want to keep it interactive then keep -i
Don't use alias docker="winpty docker". It solves your problem but break pipes.
$ winpty docker run -ti ubuntu
root#e85cff7d1670:/# exit
$ wintpy docker run ubuntu bash HELLO
HELLO
$ wintpy docker run ubuntu bash HELLO | cat
stdout is not a tty
Copy this to your .bashrc. This script uses winpty docker only if -ti is used.
function docker(){
for param; do if [[ "$param" == "-ti" ]] || [[ "$param" == "-it" ]]; then
winpty docker "$#"; return
fi; done;
command docker "$#"
}
docker run -ti ubuntu becomes winpty docker run -ti ubuntu avoids error: the input device is not a TTY. If you are using mintty, try prefixing the command with 'winpty'"
docker run ubuntu echo "what's up" | cat becomes command docker run echo "what'up" | cat avoids error: stdout is not a tty
The script only looks if there is a '-it' parameter without checking if it is inside a 'docker run' sentence... but it does the trick for my uses.
Did you start "Docker Quickstart Terminal"? I was trying to run
$ docker run -i -t redcricket/react-tutorial:latest /bin/bash
on windows from a Cygwin bash shell and got the same error:
the input device is not a TTY. If you are using mintty, try prefixing the command with 'winpty'
Then I remembered that when I installed docker on my windows 10 system something called "Docker Quickstart Terminal" got installed. You need to start that first from that dumb windows 'Type here to search' thing on the task bar:
That launches this …
… you can run your docker commands there without getting that error or running winpty.
The problem is with gitbash however with the powershell it is working fine ..
Happened to me. From Git Bash, on Windows 8 running Docker Toolbox. There are two things happening. From git bash, we do not seem to have complete escalated privilege to the docker daemon (even though i'm running git bash with administrative privileges).
Thus:
Try running the command from your docker terminal. (gives you privilege).
To compensate for errors from Window's folder naming formats, don't forget to quote the path.. (to escape spaces and/or capitalization errors) say
From:
docker run -v $(pwd):/data image_ref
To:
docker run -v "$(pwd):/data" image_ref
(notice the enclosing quotes in the latter around $(pwd):/data).
Just add 'winpty' in start of your cmd ,Try below:
$ winpty docker.exe run --rm -v "/c/users/vipul rao/documents/github/wappalyzer:/opt/wappalyzer" -it wappalyzer/dev
Why this happens? More details here:
http://willi.am/blog/2016/08/08/docker-for-windows-interactive-sessions-in-mintty-git-bash/
Got this error for running docker-compose exec workspace bash
So just prefix with winpty winpty docker-compose exec workspace bash
It may be that you're not running your commands within the Docker terminal. If you don't, you may not be properly connected to the Docker daemon and won't be able to interact correctly.
Make sure you're running commands in the actual Docker Terminal.
For those using WSL and running Docker for windows inside of cmder or conemu I would recommend to not to use Docker which is installed on windows in 'Program Files' but instead install Docker inside WSL on ubuntu/linux. Do remember though that you can't run Docker itself from within WSL, you must connect to Docker running on windows from the linux Docker client installed in WSL.
To install Docker on WSL
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce
Your options for running actual Docker commands are to either:
Connect to Docker using the switch -H
docker -H localhost:2375 run -it -v /mnt/c/code:/var/app -w "/var/app" centos:7
Or set the environment variable docker_host
export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:2375
Either way you are now be able to interactively connect to a running Docker container
you can try with Cmder tool it will work. Its not working with Gitbash
In addition to above mentioned solutions.
In case you are getting this error for docker attach
example: docker attach alpine1
error: the input device is not a TTY. If you are using mintty, try prefixing the command with 'winpty'
Solution: Adding winpty before docker command i.e. winpty docker attach should work.
example: winpty docker attach alpine1
Note: I was getting this error while using base on windows and this solution worked for me.
I had the same error when trying to run the docker-compose exec command.
In the help documentation docker-compose exec --help it shows how you can disable the pseudo-tty allocation by adding -T to your command options in the following way:
docker-compose exec -T
From the help documentation:
-T Disable pseudo-tty allocation. By default docker-compose exec allocates a TTY.
If you are using gitbash the problem is when setting the terminal emulator for for using with Git bash.setting the emurator
Instead you can change the emulator to the first options or use the
winpty command before your docker run command
So I am running a script that calls:
docker-compose run --rm web sh /data/bin/install_test_db.sh
and it seems to work fine when running it on ubuntu but when I run it on Windows using Git Bash I get this error:
sh: 0: Can't open C:/Program Files/Git/data/bin/install_test_db.sh
It seems to be trying to run the script on my machine and not the actual container from which I am trying to call it from.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
First, try passing a command to your sh shell:
docker-compose run --rm web sh -c "/data/bin/install_test_db.sh"
Or:
docker-compose run --rm web "sh -c /data/bin/install_test_db.sh"
That will avoid your host shell (the git bash) to interpret an absolute path (starting with '/') as one from the Git installation path.
That will keep /data/... as an argument to be passed to the shell executed in the container.
Note: If you are using Docker for Windows (meaning not VirtualBox, but HyperV), you don't need git bash at all.
Try the same command from a regular CMD (with docker.exe in your %PATH%, which Docker for Windows set for you)
vonc#VONCAVN7 C:\Users\vonc
> where docker
C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe
If you need Linux-like commands from that same CMD session, then yes, add git paths:
set GH=C:\path\to\git
set PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%
Input:
- There is Windows machine with Docker Toolbox installed.
- There is a shell script file baz.sh which calls py2dsc-deb.
Problem: py2dsc-deb is not available on Windows.
As I understand correctly, I can pull some Linux distro image from Docker repository, create a container and then execute shell-script file and it will run py2dsc-deb and do its job.
I have pulled:
debian - stretch-slim - 3ad21 - 3 weeks ago - 55.3MB
Now
How do I run my script using debian, something like: docker exec mycontainer /path/to/test.sh?
Running docker --rm debian:stretch-slim does nothing. Doesn't it suppose to run Debian distro at docker-machine ip?
I have tried to keep the container up using docker run -it debian:stretch-slim /bin/bash, then run the script using docker exec 1ef5b ./build.sh, but getting
$ docker exec 745 ./build.sh
rpc error: code = 2 desc = oci runtime error: exec failed: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused "exec: \"./build.sh\": stat ./build.sh: no such file or directory"
Does it mean I can't run external script and has to always pass it inside the Docker?
You can execute bash command inside your container by typing
docker exec -ti -u `username` `container_name` bash -c "cd /path/to/ && ./test.sh"
lets say your container name is test_buildbox, you are root and your script stays inside /bin/test.sh You can call this script by typing
docker exec -ti -u root test_buildbox bash -c "cd /bin/ && ./test.sh
Please check if you have correct line endings in your .sh scripts (<LF>) when you built Docker image on Windows.
