If you get this kind of error: docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "/bin/bash": stat /bin/bash: no such file or directory: unknown. or ERRO[0000] error waiting for container: context canceled that means that your Docker image doesn’t have a bash environment, and you can’t use the /bin/bash executable.
Prerequisites
- Docker
Solution
Step 1. One solution is to replace and run the bash environment with shell.
sudo docker run -it IMAGE-ID /bin/sh
or, if the container is running already:
sudo docker exec -it CONTAINER-ID /bin/sh
Step 2. If you are using Alpine Linux as a Docker image you can install bash within the Dockerfile.
RUN apk add --no-cache bash
