[Update] I finally discovered that this problem is not a docker problem but was self-inflicted. A side effect of running an ansible script to install my docker image was to accidentally set /tmp to be owned by root with permission 755. Not being able to write to /tmp as a normal user caused lots of commands to crash the terminal - not just docker commands the way I originally thought.
I have my own postgres image that is causing me major problems. The container runs fine - I can access the postgres process in the container. However, when I try to run a command in the container, e.g.
docker exec postgres netstat -antp
the terminal I’m running that docker exec from receives a SIGABRT and terminates. The same thing happens when I run the command from bash inside the container. That is,
docker exec -it postgres bash
works fine, but then running
netstat -antp
crashes the terminal. Many other commands have the same problem - I am just using netstat as a simple example. Even
docker logs postgres and
docker inspect postgres
crash the terminal.
