Docker run hangs

Docker Desktop for Mac
1

Expected behavior

Run successfully or exit with an error status

Actual behavior

I’m running a container running memory intensive tasks. After launching the docker run .. command I can see the container running with the docker ps command. After a while the container disappear i.e. is not reported anymore by the docker ps command but the docker run .. never exit.

I ran into this, too, and I think I isolated it down to a timeout or stuck I/O on the Docker socket forwarder.

Running docker run debian /bin/bash -c "sleep 10" will freeze and require a kill -9. The container exits normally, but the docker client hangs.

Sleeping for less seconds works as expected. More interestingly, docker run debian /bin/bash -c "echo 1 && sleep 10" works, while docker run debian /bin/bash -c "sleep 10 && echo 1" hangs before printing 1.

So I think the issue is that docker run hangs if there’s no output in the first 10 seconds.

Needless to say, this is a major blocker :slight_smile:
