At the moment I’m getting message "no response from daemon: shim error; docker.runc not installed on system". I tried a possible solution for that to no avail Earlier today I installed telnet (which I guess updated yum?) to troubleshoot an email issue. Right now, I’m kinda hosed. I’m on Centos 7 I believe. Initially docker would not start, stated a problem with the network bridge. Removed and installed docker from yum to get that working again. Here’s my docker.info at present: [image] Containers = 0 kinda concerns me, although I did make a backup of my docker directory before messing around. I did run docker rm app at one point (After the error about docker-runc occured)… maybe not such a good idea. Attempt to rebuild results in same error message regarding docker-runc

Hmmm. It seems that docker is actually a script which performs a lookup for possible paths. But only on RHEL/CentOS 7 where this comes from the RHEL repositories. I don’t have /usr/bin/docker-current here. [root@icinga2 ~]# docker -v Docker version 17.12.0-ce, build c97c6d6 [root@icinga2 ~]# ps aux | grep docker root 20688 0.9 1.9 542268 35964 ?

Anyhow, I’d suggest to start “fresh”. Purge anything which has docker in its name from the system yum remove docker \ docker-common \ docker-selinux \ docker-engine find /etc/systemd -name '*docker*' -exec rm -f {} \; find /lib/systemd -name '*docker*' -exec rm -f {} \; and go for installing it using this guide again.

To install Docker CE, you need a maintained version of CentOS 7. Archived versions aren’t supported or tested. [image] Install Docker Engine on CentOS Learn how to install Docker Engine on CentOS. These instructions cover the different installation methods, how to uninstall, and next steps.

Ok I’ve installed Docker-CE from Yun (After fully removing docker components per the guide you linked). Docker fails to start Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Doing some digging to see what might cause this. [DockerNoStartDockerServiceDisabled2][DockerNoStartDockerServiceDisabled]

Ugh, I can’t figure out why docker-CE won’t start on this server. It installed without issue. I even deleted /var/lib/docker reinstalled docker, no change.

For some reason, Docker doesn’t seem to play well with CentOS. Most of us here use Ubuntu, so don’t have solutions off the top of our heads. If you’re stuck and just want someone to fix it, I’ll figure out something. You can place an order here: Redirecting… . I’ll just fix what you’ve got rather than re-installing the OS as described there, though if you’d be willing to switch to Ubuntu, I could switch you over for the same price if Discourse is all that’s running there.

[image] pfaffman: For some reason, Docker doesn’t seem to play well with CentOS That’s what I’m finding. I think my host (Interserver) might have only offered Centos at the time so I went with it. They have ubuntu now, spinning an ubuntu box here as I type.

As long as you’ve got a recent backup, you should be good to go. Actually, you could even just rsync /var/discourse to the new server and rebuild.

I have back up from yesterday on S3. But rsync would probably be better so I have all the content until things went south.

If systemd says “disabled”, you have multiple options systemctl enable docker SELinux is causing fun this is a meta unit which is disabled. The real service is named differently. You can see that for example with Elasticsearch, where the service unit files are named differently for each cluster instance. Let’s do this in a CentOS Vagrant VM (actually, it is icinga-vagrant/icinga2x with a stopped httpd) [image] Install Docker Engine on CentOS Learn how to install Docker Engine on CentOS. These instructions cover the different installation methods, how to uninstall, and next steps. yum install -y yum-utils \ device-mapper-persistent-data \ lvm2 yum-config-manager \ --add-repo \ https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo yum -y install docker-ce systemctl enable docker.service systemctl start docker.service git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker /var/discourse cd /var/discourse ./discourse-setup Bootstrap afterwards works then. [root@icinga2 discourse]# ./launcher bootstrap app which: no docker.io in (/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin) WARNING: We are about to start downloading the Discourse base image This process may take anywhere between a few minutes to an hour, depending on your network speed Please be patient This also works for me with setenforce 1 as the Docker package installs an SELinux policy. So this somehow seems to be related to the missing enable/start step on CentOS. No need for a migration run to Ubuntu imho.

Thanks. So removed an installed docker-ce again per the guide above, ran “systemctl enable docker.service” but it still fails to start when I try to start it from systemctrl I’m getting a little more information this time under journalctrl… "Failed at step EXEC spawning usr/bin/docker-current: no such file or directory.

Thanks Rafael, I don’t fully understand but will follow the instructions for installing Docker CE
