Can't start the container : exited (139)

[Crivaledaz]

Hi,

I never used Docker before, so it is certainly a noob problem.

I can't start the container. After 'docker run' finished, the container is not running and with 'docker ps -a' I get the following : COMMAND : /usr/local/bin/entrypoint" STATUS : Exited (139) 4 seconds ago

When I try to start the container with 'docker start openvpn', it just prompts "openvpn" on stdout and I get the same output from 'docker ps -a'

What I am doing wrong ?

Thank you in advance

Docker 18.06 on ArchLinux Kernel 4.18.3

It's hard to say. The example to run the container in the README works. What's the command that you're running to start the container?

[Crivaledaz]

First, I tried with OTP enabled : docker run --name openvpn --volume /opt/docker:/etc/openvpn --detach=true -p 1194:1194/udp -e "OVPN_SERVER_CN=vpn.ldap.test" -e "LDAP_URI=ldap://192.168.42.100:389" -e "LDAP_BASE_DN=ou=VPN,dc=ldap,dc=test" -e "ENABLE_OTP=true" --cap-add=NET_ADMIN wheelybird/openvpn-ldap-otp

Also I tried directly with the command line from the Readme : docker run --name openvpn --volume /opt/docker:/etc/openvpn --detach=true -p 1194:1194/udp -e "OVPN_SERVER_CN=vpn.ldap.test" -e "LDAP_URI=ldap://192.168.42.100" -e "LDAP_BASE_DN=ou=VPN,dc=ldap,dc=test" --cap-add=NET_ADMIN wheelybird/openvpn-ldap-otp

I have the same problem in both case. I found nothing about this Docker error on internet :/

What do you get from docker logs openvpn?

[Crivaledaz]

I got nothing with docker logs openvpn
I have done again the 'docker run' in a clean configuration (I deleted image and container). I share with you a screenshot of my terminal, to clarify :

Thank you for your help

The command you're using looks fine; it should work. I suspect there's something odd about your Docker setup. Are you using Linux on a x86 CPU? i.e. not a Rasperry PI.

Try replacing --detach with -ti to get an interactive container instead.

Hi,

I have tried the container on Fedora and it works perfectly. I think Arch Linux is not the best choice to begin with Docker.

Thank you for your help

Just came across this issue too (also on Arch). Think its related to: CentOS/sig-cloud-instance-images#62; pypa/manylinux#254; moby/moby#28705 (comment).

Might be worth upgrading to centos7? There is this fork: https://github.com/benohara/openvpn-server-ldap-otp/tree/centos7

[wheelybird]

Hi. Is this on Arch for x86 or arm?

[RichGuk]

Mine is for x86. I'm assuming the newer kernel doesn't have the required vsyscall that centos6 is requiring.

[wheelybird]

Rightho. I've just created a new image (wheelybird/openvpn-server-ldap-otp:centos7) using benohara's fork. It's available now, but I haven't tested it yet. If you want to give it a spin, go for it.
