I just started using Docker for Windows and I quickly run into an error that I cannot resolve. I have tried both the stable and beta releases with the same result. standard_init_linux.go:175: exec user process caused "no such file or directory This happens on e.g. the mongodb 3.2 Dockerfile on th…

Just a quick note. The entrypoint does indeed exist since I’m doing a chmod +x on it. With the chmod commented out like below I’m getting a “permission denied” error instead of “no such file”. COPY docker-entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh #RUN chmod +x /entrypoint.sh ENTRYPOINT [ "/entrypoint.sh" ]

hi can you explain it slowly so I can comprehend your point

For vscode, just press CRLF in the status bar while opening the .sh file, select LF then save the file.
