Configuration file at containers/app.yml updated successfully!

Device "docker0" does not exist.
Cannot connect to the docker daemon - verify it is running and you have access

After installing SMTP appers this. What I can do?

Are you using Ubuntu? If not, you might switch. It’s the easiest to make work with docker.

m1raz · February 19, 2017, 3:56pm

A’m using VPS with Ubuntu-16.04-x86_64

pfaffman · February 19, 2017, 3:57pm

How did you install docker?

m1raz · February 19, 2017, 3:59pm

By this instruction https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md

With command

wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh

pfaffman · February 19, 2017, 4:03pm

Hmm. That’s strange. I did that a couple hours ago on digital ocean without any trouble. If you’re on digital ocean, I’m stumped. If not, then there’s something about the housing service. You can search here or on their site for docker hints.

Perhaps a reboot would help? (But no idea why.)

cpradio · February 19, 2017, 4:34pm

Did you run that command as root? If not is the user that ran it part of the docker group?

m1raz · February 19, 2017, 4:51pm

In console I see root@185.145.253.103. I hpe It is root user

m1raz · February 19, 2017, 6:14pm

Didn’t helped.

can I did some tests to found problem?

mpalmer · February 19, 2017, 6:42pm

This is what you need to do next. Is docker, in fact, running?

m1raz · February 19, 2017, 7:15pm

Looks like it’s not running. When I run anything from docker --help it returns:

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

As you said in another topic this was a droplet that had both Apache and Nginx installed, so can you please revert to a new droplet state and try again the official docs for installation?

pfaffman · February 20, 2017, 3:07am

And make sure it’s a standard Ubuntu image and not one with other stuff included.

FYI we have seen this behavior on Digital Ocean instances where the kernel is way out of date. Per @mpalmer

Aha, /var/log/upstart/docker.log sez, “Your Linux kernel version 3.8.0-29-generic is not supported for running docker. Please upgrade your kernel to 3.10.0 or newer.”

We found that after updating the kernel (this requires using the Digitial Ocean web UI, under Kernel tab) you have to also issue this command

apt-get -y install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)

it is possible that

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

would also work, if issued after the kernel update and reboot.

slackmoehrle · January 25, 2018, 5:20pm

@codinghorror I tried this for the same issue and no luck. apt-get dist-upgrade fails.

I just upgraded from Ubunto 14.04 to 16.04 on a Digital Ocean instance.

pfaffman · January 25, 2018, 7:09pm

I’d recommend building a new dropet (you want to resize to one of the new ones anyway), starting with 16.04 and backup-restoring your data to the new site.

slackmoehrle · January 25, 2018, 7:37pm

I’m trying to avoid doing so. We have a lot of data in Discourse and the downtime and change of IP are also factors. If I have to go this route then perhaps I can stay with 14.04.5.

pfaffman · January 25, 2018, 8:36pm

All the more reason to move to a bigger droplet for the same price you’re paying now.

Get a digital ocean floating IP pointing to your current site
update DNS to point to floating IP
create new droplet and install Discourse
wait for DNS to propagate
back up old site, put in read-only mode
restore to new site
re-point floating IP to new site
change DNS to new IP (or not)

You’d have only a few minutes of read-only time and no downtime.

slackmoehrle · January 25, 2018, 10:25pm

You make a compelling case. Good idea. Thanks.
