docker: executable file not found in $PATH

Question

I have a docker image which installs grunt, but when I try to run it, I get an error:

Error response from daemon: Cannot start container foo_1         


        

Answer 1

A Docker container might be built without a shell (e.g. https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit-docker-image/issues/19).

In this case, you can copy-in a statically compiled shell and execute it, e.g.

docker create --name temp-busybox busybox:1.31.0
docker cp temp-busybox:/bin/busybox busybox
docker cp busybox mycontainerid:/busybox
docker exec -it mycontainerid /bin/busybox sh
