Docker - no such file or directory

Leave a Comment

I'm receiving an error from docker when I run my docker file. It's saying the /var/lib/docker/aufs/layers/xxxx: no such file or directory when I run Docker build .

I have tried numerous ways to remove containers and images so I'm pretty much stock on this one.

Any

The Docker file is:

FROM node:6  RUN git clone https://github.com/preboot/angular2-webpack.git  WORKDIR angular2-webpack  RUN sed -i.bak 's/--port 8080/--host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080/' package.json RUN npm i  CMD [ "npm", "run", "start" ] 

The complete console output is:

Sending build context to Docker daemon 9.728 kB Step 1 : FROM node:6 6: Pulling from library/node 6a5a5368e0c2: Already exists 7b9457ec39de: Already exists ff18e19c2db4: Already exists 6a3d69edbe90: Already exists 0ce4b037e17f: Already exists 82252a100d5a: Already exists Digest: sha256:db245bde5445eb122d8dc090ba98539a9ef7f56c0ea981ade643695af0d8eaf0 Status: Downloaded newer image for node:6 ---> 9873603dc506 Step 2 : RUN git clone https://github.com/preboot/angular2-webpack.git open /var/lib/docker/aufs/layers/9319fd93cb6d6718243ff2e65ce5d2aa6122a1bb9211aa9f8e88d85c298727e5: no such file or directory User:docker-test  

Edit

The issue was resolved thanks to @BMitchs' recommendation:

  1. rm -rf /var/lib/docker/*
  2. Uninstall Docker completely
  3. re install docker

With that sort of corruption, I'd give a full docker wipe a try, rm -rf /var/lib/docker/*. Before doing that, backup any data (volumes), then shutdown docker, and you'll need to pull or rebuild all your images again. If there are still problems with aufs, try changing the filesystem driver, e.g. changing to dockerd -s overlay2 in your service startup.

It doesn't hurt to check for common issues, like running out of disk space or old version of the application, first.

try building the image again on a clean machine or using the --no-cache flag, this seems like a caching issue.

Also - In my company, we clone the code into the machine building the image, and then copy the code into the container. In my opinion - it's a better solution, but I think it's a matter of taste.
