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.

I'm trying to run a bash script from a Docker Image on a Mac. Here is my Dockerfile
FROM bash
ADD app.sh /
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash", "/app.sh"]
Error
docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: exec: "/bin/bash": stat /bin/bash: no such file or directory: unknown.
This is a simple exercise in creating Docker Images where I need to execute app.sh when I run docker run.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
According to your error message, the file /bin/bash does not exist in your Docker image. Why is this?
The bash image puts the bash executable at /usr/local/bin/bash. Here's how I determined this:
$ docker run -it bash
bash-5.1# which bash
/usr/local/bin/bash
bash-5.1#
I ran the bash image with -it to make it interactive, then used the which command to give me the full path to bash, which is /usr/local/bin/bash.
For that reason, you need to change your Dockerfile like this:
FROM bash
ADD app.sh /
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/local/bin/bash", "/app.sh"]
I'm very new to docker.
Also I'm using Docker for Windows (ie Image and Container are for Windows OS).
I'm trying to get a list of all the folders and subfolders to resolve another issue I'm having. I read several post and blogs and seems like I should be able to run
docker exec -it <container id> dir
To get the info as it is suppose to allow me to run commands against the container.
I even ran
docker exec -it f83eb1533b67 help
which gave me a list of commands (because no one tells what are acceptable 'commands'...) and it is listed. however I get the following message when I run DIR command
PS P:\docker\tmp\SqlServerSetup> `docker exec -it f83eb1533b67 dir`
container f83eb1533b671b4462b8a1562da7343185b2dd27e94ff360e0230969d432ec37 encountered an error during CreateProcess: failure in a Windows system call: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)

PS P:\docker\tmp\SqlServerSetup>
Please note: I don't want to persist a volume. Seems like that option is for people that are trying to reuse data.
UPDATE:
This is the statement that i'm using to create the container:
docker run -p 1433:1433 -e sa_password=Pass1.4DBAs -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y -p 11433:1433 --name sqlTraining --cap-add SYS_PTRACE -d microsoft/mssql-server-windows-developer
It works fine. Container is created, but I want to view the filesystem within that container.
For Windows containers, prefix the command with the command shell (cmd) and the /c parameter. For example:
docker exec <container id> cmd /c dir
This will execute the dir command on the specified container and terminate.
Try running:
docker exec -it <container id> sh
to start the interactive shell console. This should help you with debugging.
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
I want container with "centos:latest" image to be started and should execute my script. The scripts are copied with docker cp commands.
docker create --name centos1 centos:latest
docker cp . 5db38b908880:/opt ---> scripts are in current directory, hence .
docker commit centos1 new_centos1 --> now new_centos1 image has scripts
Now I want to start new container with the scripts to be executed: I tried below commands:
docker run -ti --rm --entrypoint "cd /opt && deploy_mediainfo_lambda.sh" new_centos1:latest
docker run -ti --rm new_centos1:latest "cd /opt && deploy_mediainfo_lambda.sh"
Both of above commands failed with:
docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:296: starting container process caused "exec: \"cd /opt && deploy_mediainfo_lambda.sh\": stat cd /opt && deploy_mediainfo_lambda.sh: no such file or directory": unknown.
ERRO[0000] error waiting for container: context canceled
if used bash command while starting container, I can run my script using 'execuateble path'/'execuatble name' inside container, but I can not do this while starting container on commandline
docker run -ti --rm new_centos1:latest bash
[root#c34207f3f1c4 /]# ./opt/deploy_mediainfo_lambda.sh
If used below command, which calls executable directly, it gives path error.
docker run -ti --rm new_centos1:latest "deploy_mediainfo_lambda.sh"
docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:296: starting container process caused "exec: \"deploy_mediainfo_lambda.sh\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown.
ERRO[0000] error waiting for container: context canceled
Also not sure about setting $PATH from commandline while starting the container.
I know, using Dockerfile this is achievable, like:
can set path using ENV,
can copy executables with ADD or COPY
run executables using CMD or ENTRYPOINT
How to achieves it using docker commandline?
Thanks melpomene.
Here is my bash script to automate script execution inside container, after copying them, all using docker commands.
# Start docker container
docker create --name mediainfo_docker centos:latest
# copy script files
docker cp . mediainfo_docker:/opt
# save container with the new image, which contains all scripts.
docker commit mediainfo_docker mediainfo_docker_with_scripts
# Now run scripts inside docker container
docker run -ti --rm mediainfo_docker_with_scripts:latest /opt/deploy_mediainfo_lambda.sh
Since deploy_mediainfo_lambda.sh is a script, first line of it is:
#!/bin/bash
I am attempting to run a few commands inside of a docker container from it's host machine. Typically when I want to execute a shell command in a docker container from the host I will do something like this:
docker exec -ti myContainer ls -l
which works fine. But when I try to change directories like this:
docker exec -ti myContainer cd myDirectory
it throws the error:
rpc error: code = 2 desc = "oci runtime error: exec failed: exec:
\"cd\": executable file not found in $PATH"
Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening and how I can resolve it?
cd isn't an OS executable, is a shell command. To run it, you'll need to run a shell to parse it. docker exec -ti myContainer /bin/sh -c "cd myDirectory"
