ERROR: Bad Response from Docker Engine

Docker Desktop
1

Expected behavior

docker-compose -p ${RANDOM_ID} -f docker-compose.test.yml run --rm web make test should not throw the error ERROR: Bad response from Docker engine intermittently.

Actual behavior

docker-compose -p ${RANDOM_ID} -f docker-compose.test.yml run --rm web make test randomly results in ERROR: Bad response from Docker engine.

Information

This is not an issue when running docker within an ubuntu VM, it appears to only be occurring when I use Docker for Mac.

Our test process is to build the containers first
docker-compose -p ${RANDOM_ID} build base mysql postgres > /dev/null
Then run the tests
docker-compose -p ${RANDOM_ID} -f docker-compose.test.yml run --rm web make test

Then we have an exit trap for tearing down the containers (which is defined above the above code)

function remove_the_containers {
    docker-compose -p ${RANDOM_ID} -f docker-compose.test.yml down -v > /dev/null
}
trap remove_the_containers EXIT
  • OSX 10.11.3
  • Version 1.11.1-beta13 (build: 7975) 16dbe555c7dd4304521b21e8286d83fe4864c15c
    Note:
  • I also saw this issue in the previous beta build, itā€™s not new to this one. Iā€™m just now getting around to reporting it.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Not sure. Itā€™s completely random. How can I get better insight into why Iā€™m getting this generic error? Maybe this is an issue with how our compose files are setup. Not sure, but I donā€™t know how to find more information and I havenā€™t found anything similar via googling.

Also seeing this with 1.11.1-beta13.

Iā€™m also experiencing this with Version 1.11.1-beta13.1 (build: 8193)

For me this can be reliably produced.

  • Version 1.11.1-beta13.1 (build: 8193) e9f58bbe60f0debccc097b7d27cad200556ec6f5
  • OSX 10.10.5

The compose file has a mariadb container, and an alpine-based custom built container. The built container is linked to the db container, itā€™s purpose is to run a maven build.

The container is already built when running these commands:

$ docker-compose run build
Creating network "project_default" with the default driver
Creating project_db_1
ERROR: Bad response from Docker engine

However, (after using down to cleanup):

$ docker-compose up -d db
Creating network "project_default" with the default driver
Creating project_db_1
$ docker-compose run build
# ... works as normal

Also, after the failure, re-running the run command immediately will work as normal. It appears to just be the transition from up-ing the linked service to creating the ā€˜buildā€™ container.

Docker logs (Console) are not showing any differences between run build and up -d db.

@gktheone I just did the same and get the same results. Thanks for the workaround.

Previously we did not use up -d for bringing up our dbs. Now with that in place it is consistently working.

docker-compose -p ${PROJECT} -f docker-compose.test.yml build web mysql postgres > /dev/null
docker-compose -p ${PROJECT} -f docker-compose.test.yml up -d mysql postgres > /dev/null
docker-compose -p ${PROJECT} -f docker-compose.test.yml run --rm web make test

@dockersupport Iā€™ve uploaded my diagnostic report - 6818AA2B-D8AC-427B-B6B7-84C20EFD37BA. The very last docker command I ran failed with Bad response from Docker engine when I removed the second line from the above snippet.

Having very similar issues. Running Docker for Mac beta version 1.11.1-beta14 (build: 8670) on OS X 10.11.5 (15F34), which was freshly installed today.

ERROR: compose.cli.errors.log_api_error: Bad response from Docker engine

Sometimes removing all containers and images then restarting Docker.app will fix the issue temporarily, but it comes back intermittently.

Installed the beta15 update this morning and this problem is no longer occurring.

I am seeing something similar with 1.12.0-rc3. At first I noticed that docker-compose commands were always timing out, but now every command I try gives me the ā€˜Bad response from Docker engineā€™ error.

Iā€™ve tried restarting Docker, restarting my machine, etc. but Iā€™m now getting this error all the time. I just tried running some docker commands and also get ā€œError response from daemon: Bad response from Docker engineā€.

edit: well, re-installing Docker from the Preferences option has fixed this issue so far, Iā€™ll see if it appears again.
