Container cannot be started from bootlocal.sh

Running Boot2Docker 1.5.0 under Windows. A container gastrobase exists and can be started manually with docker start gastrobase.

When I put this command into /var/lib/boot2docker/bootlocal.sh, upon startup I get

Post http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.17/containers/gastrobase/start: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: no such file or directory. Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS? time="2015-03-28T19:50:51Z" level="fatal" msg="Error: failed to start one or more containers" in var/log/bootlocal.log.

Running ./bootlocal.sh manually starts Ok.

I have already tried the sudo-variant, which according to another thread in SO is the wrong choice with Boot2Docker.

Solution

  • This proved to be a racing condition: With the following in bootlocal.sh startup works

    sleep 1 docker start gastrobase

    RomanSaveljev suggested

    docker run --restart=always --name gastrobase

    instead.
