MongoDB doesn't start

First: please provide the two Files (Dockerfile and docker-entrypoint.sh) as Downloads. Copy/Paste from the screen is sometimes a bit unreliable (Linefeeds and so...). Then a second remark: In the Dockerfile, only Port 27017 is exposed whereas in your video you expose also 28017, when you run the container (docker run -p ... 28017:28017 ...).

But my real issue is: MongoDB doesn't start up. If I check the logs, I see there: standard_init_linux.go:187: exec user process caused "no such file or directory".

What am I doing wrong?

Working on Windows 10, if that's of interest.

docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "exec: \"docker-entrypoint.sh\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown.

Agreed

chmod +x docker-entrypoint.sh prior to running build

Hiya there! Thats exactly why i dont use Docker. It messes up with your system a lot especially if its a windows pc. Now regarding your issue. It looks like it couldn't find the PATH VARIABLE for Mongo. I can think of two solutions:

  • Set your Path Variable to Mongo's .exe file in your Home directory in Advanced Environment Variable Settings.

    OR

  • Uninstall your MongoDB and reinstall it again.

@Robert You're right! I must have overlooked that.

@Ari Thanks for the hints. Well, MongoDB is part of the Dockerfile, so I cannot uninstall/install it solely. But anyway, I just pulled the image from dockern00b/mongodb. And that runs. Seems, something is wrong with the Dockerfile or the docker-entrypoint.sh script I copied and pasted.

@stefan, I initially copy and pasted and ran into formatting issues as you did. For the docker-entrypoint.sh, I had to chmod +x in order to get it to run.
