Hi there,
I am having problems launching multiple Docker containers. I have moved from a RaspberryPi to an external Linux server with Ubuntu 22.04. I wanted to move all my containers there bit by bit, but when I try to start more than five containers, I get an error message - regardless of the image.
Additionally, I should say that I am not a Docker expert and I may be missing something very simple.
I would really appreciate an answer as it would be extremely important for me to be able to continue running all my containers.
The problem:
I currently have portainer, mariadb, nextcloud, traefik and mealie running. If I now try to start a fifth container, I get the following output:
➜ ~ docker run hello-world
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc did not terminate successfully: exit status 134: unknown.
ERRO[0001] error waiting for container:
Moreover, there are following syslog entries:

What I have tried so far:
- Restart docker (
systemctl restart docker) - Restart the system (
reboot now) - Reinstalled the OS
Moreover, I have found this post with a similar issue. The first difference to my problem is, that I can start exactly five containers before the problem appears and I didn’t used an preinstalled docker version, but I have used the convenience script.
