Docker Problem Overview


When I am running my docker image on windows 10. I am getting this error:

standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"

my docker file is:

FROM openjdk:8

EXPOSE 8080

VOLUME /tmp

ADD appagent.tar.gz /opt/app-agent
ADD services.jar app.jar
ADD run.sh /run.sh

# Install compiler and perl stuff
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y build-essential
RUN apt-get install -y gcc-multilib
RUN apt-get install -y perl

# Install Percona Toolkit
RUN apt-get install --yes percona-toolkit
RUN ["chmod", "+x", "/run.sh"]
ENTRYPOINT ["/run.sh"]

and the script is start with #!/bin/sh

#!/bin/sh
set -e

JAVA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom"

if [ "${APPD_APP_NAME}" != "" ]; then
JAVA_AGENT="-javaagent:/opt/app-agent/javaagent.jar
fi

exec java ${JVM_OPTS} ${JAVA_OPTS} ${JAVA_AGENT} -jar /app.jar

Tried method1: Tried changing #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash but getting same error.

Tried method2: added dos2unix in docker file

RUN apt-get install -y dos2unix
RUN dos2unix /run.sh

Docker Solutions


Solution 1 - Docker

Use notepad++, go to edit -> EOL conversion -> change from CRLF to LF.

update: For VScode users: you can change CRLF to LF by clicking on CRLF present on lower right side in the status bar

Solution 2 - Docker

change entry point as below. It worked for me

ENTRYPOINT ["sh","/run.sh"]

As tuomastik pointed out in the comments, the docs require the first parameter to be the executable:

> ENTRYPOINT has two forms: > > ENTRYPOINT ["executable", "param1", "param2"] (exec form, preferred) > > ENTRYPOINT command param1 param2 (shell form)

Solution 3 - Docker

I had the same issue when using the alpine image.

My .sh file had the following first line:

#!/bin/bash

Alpine does not have bash. So changing the line to

#!/bin/sh

or installing bash with

apk add --no-cache bash

solved the issue for me.

Solution 4 - Docker

Suppose you face this issue while running your go binary with in alpine container. Export the following variable before building your bin

# CGO has to be disabled for alpine
export CGO_ENABLED=0

Then go build

Solution 5 - Docker

In my case I had to change line ending from CRLF to LF for the run.sh file and the error was gone.

Solution 6 - Docker

I just wanted to add: for VSCode users, you can change CRLF line endings to LF by clicking on CRLF in the status bar, then select LF and save the file.

I had the same issue, and this resolved it. Steps to follow for VSCode

Solution 7 - Docker

"No such file or directory" is coming from Linux, and I've seen the following causes:

First cause is not actually having the file inside your container. Some people try to run a command from the host without adding it to their image. Some people shadow their command by mounting a volume on top of the command they wanted to run. If you run the same container, but with a shell instead of your normal entrypoint/cmd value, and run an ls /path/to/cmd you'll see if this exists.

The next cause is running the wrong command. This often appears with json/exec formatting of the command to run that doesn't parse correctly. If you see a command trying to run ["app", or something similar, the json string wasn't parsed by Docker and Linux is trying to use a shell to parse the command as a string. This can also happen if you misorder the args, e.g. trying to run -it is a sign you tried to place flags after the image name when they must be placed before the image name.

With shell scripts, this error appears if the first line with the #! points to a command that doesn't exist inside the container. For some, this is trying to run bash in an image that only has /bin/sh. And in your case, this can be from Windows linefeeds in the script. Switching to Linux/Unix linefeeds in your editor will correct that.

With binaries, this error appears if a linked library is missing. I've seen this often when Go commands that are compiled with libc, but run on alpine with musl or scratch without any libraries at all. You need to either include all the missing libraries or statically compile your command. To see these library links, use ldd /your/app on your binary.

Solution 8 - Docker

It's a CRLF problem. I fixed the problem using this:

git config --global core.eol lf

git config --global core.autocrlf input

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 dos2unix

Solution 9 - Docker

Note a similar error such as:

standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"

can happen if the architecture an image was built for does not match the one of your system. For instance, trying to run an image built for arm64 on a x86_64 machine can generate this error.

Solution 10 - Docker

I had this issue when building an application using CGO, then copying it over to a scratch image. Libc did not exist there, so I used alpine as my base image instead.

Solution 11 - Docker

Replacing CRLF with LF using Notepad++

  1. Notepad++'s Find/Replace feature handles this requirement quite nicely. Simply bring up the Replace dialogue (CTRL+H), select Extended search mode (ALT+X), search for “\r\n” and replace with “\n”:
  2. Hit Replace All (ALT+A)

Rebuild and run the docker image should solve your problem.

Solution 12 - Docker

This is because the shell script is formatted in windows we need to change to unix format. You can run the dos2unix command on any Linux system.

dos2unix your-file.sh

If you don’t have access to a Linux system, you may use the Git Bash for Windows which comes with a dos2unix.exe

dos2unix.exe your-file.sh 

Solution 13 - Docker

I had the same error message while building a docker image based on ARM on x86 machine. The issue is solved by installing QEMU and registering the script

#Install the qemu     
sudo apt-get install qemu binfmt-support qemu-user-static packages

#This step will execute the registering scripts
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes 

Solution 14 - Docker

For the VScode users, at the bottom-right corner of the IDE you can find CRLF/LF, so toggle this to LF and save again your file. Tada!! You will be fine.

Solution 15 - Docker

I was building a Go application, and every one of these answers was wrong for me, so I wanted to share my solution. For me, I had a Dockerfile that had no Windows involvement (coded on a Mac, albeit shared between one on macOS 11 and another on macOS 12. Line endings are the same though).

For me, the solution ended up being that I needed to build my application as a statically linked binary that would run without external dependencies. I was building a Dockerfile for a Go application that was first built in a Go builder image, and then in a scratch image. To allow my binary to run on scratch, I had to add the CGO_ENABLED=0 flag. More info on this reddit page: https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/pi97sp/comment/hbo0fq6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

My code, which ended up working:

############################
# STEP 1 build optimized executable binary
############################
FROM golang:1.16-alpine AS builder

WORKDIR /app

COPY go.mod ./
COPY go.sum ./
RUN go mod download

COPY *.go ./

RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -ldflags="-w -s" -o cl-api

############################
# STEP 2 build a small image
############################
FROM scratch

COPY --from=builder /app/cl-api /

EXPOSE 8000

ENTRYPOINT ["/cl-api"]

Solution 16 - Docker

The problem:

The problem comes from the .sh file. First we must remember that Windows uses \r\n as the end of the line, while Linux and Mac use \n. Git has a feature called autoclrf that is generally set to “true” on Windows. This automatically converts \n to \r\n upon completion of the download from a Git repository, but Git does not make any kind of notice of this, hence the error is generated. This process is good, at least for the other files, but it is not the case for bash files, as is the case for the entrypoint.sh file.

The Immediate Solution:

Open your favorite code editor and change the line endings for the file that is causing the conflict, in our case: entrypoint.sh. You can do that in Visual Studio Code at the bottom right of the software, click where it says CRLF and change the end of the line of the file to LF.

I solve a similar issue

My configuration: -> Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend - Windows -> required CGO_ENABLED=1, because I compile a Kafka Producer using the Lib confluent-kafka-go.v1/kafka

My docker image has been build success, but when I going to start-up the image using docker-compose-up, is occur the same issue:

xxxxx:~/cp-all-in-one/cp-all-in-one-community# docker-compose up
Recreating ms-c3alert ... done
Attaching to ms-c3alert
ms-c3alert | standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"
ms-c3alert exited with code 1

After, test all options in thread and another pages... I found the Fix adding in the go build sentence -ldflags='-w -extldflags "-static"'

RUN CGO_ENABLED=1 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -ldflags='-w -extldflags "-static"' -a -installsuffix cgo -o c3alert .

Solution 18 - Docker

I had an extra line at the end of my .sh file. I deleted it and fixed the issue.

Solution 19 - Docker

This error can also arise if trying to run a dynamically-linked executable in a from-scratch container. The executable will not be able to link to shared (so) libraries, and will report a (not so informative) "no such file or directory" error.

Let's build a dynamic executable test:

cat <<EOF | g++ -x c++ - -o test
#include <iostream>
int main() {
    std::cerr << "Hello!" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}
EOF

This is indeed a dynamic executable. Running ldd test will report something like (dependencies on libc etc.):

linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd699fc000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007ff570f7a000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007ff570c76000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007ff570a5f000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007ff5706c0000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007ff5714fe000)

Now, let's build a from-scratch image with the former executable. The Dockerfile will be:

FROM scratch
COPY test /
CMD [ "/test" ]

Build the image. Then, run an on-the-fly container from image:

docker build . -t local/test
docker run --rm local/test

The container fails with exit code 1, and i get:

standard_init_linux.go:219: exec user process caused: no such file or directory

The problem is solved by using static linking (use -static flag in previous gcc/g++ linker command) which produces a standalone executable.

Solution 20 - Docker

Add this to your Dockerfile

RUN cat /run.sh | tr -d '\r' > /run.sh

Solution 21 - Docker

I solve this issue set my settings in vscode.

  1. File
    1. Preferences
      1. Settings
        1. Text Editor
          1. Files
          2. Eol - set to \n

Solution 22 - Docker

I found a particular edge case where I was using the tini init in an alpine container, but since I was not using the statically linked version, and Alpine uses musl libc rather than GNU LibC library installed by default, it was crashing with the very same error message.

Had I understood this and also taken time to read the documentation properly, I would have found Tini Static, which upon changing to, resolved my problem.

Solution 23 - Docker

There are multiple right answers here. I don't see the VIM version of it so here it is. Open your file in VIM, check the bottom status line for example, execute set ff=dos (for CRLF) or set ff=unix (for LF).

Solution 24 - Docker

You can use BBEdit on Mac to sort this issue since Notepad++ isn't available.

It's obvious at the bottom of the window. Alongside character-set options

Solution 25 - Docker

git config core.autocrlf false  
git rm --cached -r .   
git reset --hard

Solution 26 - Docker

I had a similar issue while building with the following

FROM golang:1.18.0-alpine3.15 AS builder

WORKDIR /go/src/blah
COPY . .

RUN go get -d -v ./...
RUN go install -v ./...

WORKDIR /go/src/blah

FROM centos AS runtime   ## NOTICE THE DISTRO CHANGE HERE
COPY --from=builder /go/bin/blah /bin/blah

CMD ["blah"]

Here is my fix (same as outlined above, however adding for people to check it out )

FROM golang:1.18.0-alpine3.15 AS builder

WORKDIR /go/src/blah
COPY . .

RUN go get -d -v ./...
RUN export CGO_ENABLED=0 && go install -v ./...    <== added during install/build

WORKDIR /go/src/blah

FROM centos AS runtime
COPY --from=builder /go/bin/blah /bin/blah

CMD ["blah"]

Cheers.
