Can't run ./launcher rebuild app - Docker storage driver is unsupported

pfaffman · February 19, 2017, 3:16am

Well, with answers like this, who needs docker forums?

Perfectibilist · February 19, 2017, 8:12am

And what exactly should I back up?

Hi guys i have centos 6 and I have the problem with Storage Driver: devicemapper I made the step by step of copying docker.service and put it in /etc/systemd/system/docker.service and edit the file and it looks like this

ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -s aufs

And I restart docker but when i ran DOCKER INFO i still have devicemapper… Any ideas?

mpalmer · March 3, 2017, 1:04am

What do the dockerd logs say?

Edgar_Martinez · March 3, 2017, 5:21pm

accionly my docker service stop, and cannot start it because give me error for the root it was on (/lib/systemd/system) so I have to delete the docker.service file in /lib/ and reboot so my Discourse breathe again, so where i have to put it in Centos to make the change of Storage Driver, can I do it in the same address /etc/systemd/system ???

Copy and modify docker.service actually is not the recommended way to modify docker service, as if newer package ships the file with other changes you won’t be able to get it.

The recommended way to modify a systemd service is to use the /etc/systemd/systemd/xxx.service.d/yyy.conf approach.

Take modifying docker parameter for example, one should create the file /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/docker.conf and put below in:

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd --storage-driver=aufs or overlay <plus other options you need>

The directory name under /etc/systemd/system/ must be the service file name plus a .d suffix.

The file name doesn’t matter as long as it ends with .conf.

To modify ExecStart directive you must have a ExecStart= line to disable the line in the original service definition, or else systemd would think you want to run two ExecStart commands, one is the original one, the other is the new one you just defined.

In such way you “contained” your modification of the service to only ```ExecStart`` so if other changes are make in docker.service in newer docker package they won’t be overridden.

kraml · March 6, 2017, 9:46am

To whom made change to docker service file, remember to run systemctl daemon-reload before trying to restart docker service. It tells systemd to pick up the change to the service definition file.

If you copy and edit docker.service file in place instead of the recommended docker.service.d/xxx.conf approach, you may also need to run systemctl disable docker ; systemctl enable docker.

The best solution from Ubuntu 14 or 15 is to reinstall a VPS with Ubuntu 16.10 and quickly reinstall Discourse and load a backup.

Hate this !

codinghorror · March 6, 2017, 7:49pm

I would not use 16.10 use the LTS version of Ubuntu. Otherwise you will be forced to upgrade again soon when that is no longer supported. LTS means Long Term Service for a reason.

Hi Kai I do as you said, comment the line ExecStart in the original file that in my case is in /usr/lib/systemd/system and create te file .conf in

/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/docker.conf

after doing that I ran systemctl daemon-reload and in that point all seems ok but when I do the restart of the service I have this error

[cevmf@server docker.service.d]$ sudo systemctl status docker

Thanks for the help

kraml · March 7, 2017, 2:17am

Read this line in your log:

ar 06 19:59:41 vps276956.ovh.net docker[6348]: docker: the daemon flag '-s' must follow the 'docker daemon' command.

And how you put the options in docker.conf:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker --storage-driver=aufs daemon -H fd://

You need to put the line as:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon --storage-driver=aufs -H fd://

Notice the swapped order of daemon and --storage-driver flags.

kraml · March 7, 2017, 2:23am

The last line in your log says aufs storage driver is not supported by docker. Are you sure you are on a distro that supports aufs? What’s your distro?

twicedd · March 8, 2017, 1:00pm

I’ve this error too, I’m using a Debian 8.

I’ve commented the “check 2” code to allow the usage of devicemapper anyway. But I don’t know where this will lead me.

The forum is back, for now!

codinghorror · March 8, 2017, 1:34pm

It usually ends in drive corruption so keep your backups close…

No that is your OS information in the container.

You need to just run cat /etc/os-release and uname -a in your OS shell, not in your container. And send that output.
