Linux container docker exec -it container_id /bin/bash works on windows box but not on linux box

General Discussions
#1

Hi,

I am trying to get a image/container up and running on a K8 cluster linux nodes. I am trying to diagnose the issue by trying to run

docker exec -it container_id /bin/bash

on a windows machine with docker in linux container mode, I get the bash shell and can explore inside the container.

on a centos7 machine (a node of the k8 cluster) I am NOT able to do

docker exec -it container_id /bin/bash

or

docker exec -it container_id /bin/sh

i get the error

rpc error: code = 2 desc = oci runtime error: exec failed: container_linux.go:235: starting container process caused “exec: “//bin//bash”: stat //bin//bash: no such file or directory”

any ideas?

Kubernetes itself gives a shi* about docker and what it brings to the table, actualy it’s happy with any CRI compliant container engine.

Why don’t you just use the tool intended for this purposes instead?
kubectl and its kubectl exec action.

#3

I’m new to docker swarm and am able to deploy my services on various nodes, however, the environment variables that are exported from a dockerfile ENTRYPOINT script are not setting for tasks that are deployed in the docker swarm cluster.

Setup

docker version 18.09.1, build 4c52b90
docker-compose version 1.23.2, build 1110ad01
Django 2.1.5
PosgresSQL 10
Trying to do a one-off command inside a django task, using docker exec -t CONTAINER_ID sh to get into the container, then executing python manage.py migrate, I get the following error:

Error

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

So, the DATABASE_URL is not set as an environment variable inside my docker container. As stated before, this is exported from an ENTRYPOINT script which is invoked in the dockerfile.
