Squid in docker, help please

Well, I was planning a splashy introduction of the squid in docker that I use, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it working, from the time that I started the whole squid caching server series. So~~~ embarrassing... So, now, let me proudly present, after such long suspension,

.

.

.

my~~~ failure. :-) Sorry, I'm still unable to get the thing working. Here is the error that I get:

$ docker-compose up

Note that,

  • The above is pulling the "last-good" version of it, when it was supposed to work -- otherwise, people won't upload broken images to docker hub. But still, it is not working.
  • I tried to update everything to latest, but it is still failing on me.
  • In fact, I trimmed it down to the following simple docker file, and it is still Not.Working!:
$ cat Dockerfile 
FROM alpine:latest

RUN apk add --no-cache \
    squid \

$ docker build -t squid-alpine . 
Sending build context to Docker daemon  2.048kB
Step 1/2 : FROM alpine:latest

 ---> Running in 190963a80f2d
failed to update store for object type *libnetwork.endpointCnt: Key not found in store
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So now I declare my failure, and will move on to Ubuntu based solution instead.

Of course, anyone who is reading this, and knows the solution, I'll be more than happy to hear from you. Thanks!

UPDATE:

Thanks to all the help from @andrelinslima , which stirred me into the right direction for troubleshooting, I've now solved all the problems, including the problem from Ubuntu based solution:

$ sudo docker-compose up
Pulling Squid (sameersbn/squid:3.5.27-2)...

ERROR: for Squid  Cannot start service Squid: failed to update store for object type *libnetwork.endpointCnt: Key not found in store
ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

I'm including all the error messages here in hoping that the next person looking for them might find the solution here.

It has nothing to do with the docker base, whether alpine or ubuntu.
As @andrelinslima has pointed out that, it is a local config problem. As for the solution, the hints comes from here:

  • "It's internal docker daemon error"
  • "I moved my docker images folder when I faced this problem."
  • "For those suffering this issue, I reset my docker twice and it started working."

Indeed, it was caused by me moving my docker images folder, and the solution is simple to restart the docker service:

% /etc/init.d/docker restart
[ ok ] Restarting docker (via systemctl): docker.service.

The docker-compose yml you link to is working fine. You can clone the git repo and start it using labs.play-with-docker.com/ for example.

Sounds like you have problems with your permissions for your docker-compose setup. Try using sudo when invoking docker-compose

Thanks a lot for the help.

I'm still having problem when using sudo to invoke docker-compose:

$ sudo docker-compose up

No LSB modules are available.

Maybe we have a different host system?

Anyway, thx for the introduction of Play with Docker (PWD). I will give it a try next...

Tried on the exact same ubuntu build, works fine to me... so I would still guess it's a local config problem

Oh, thanks a lot for the confirmation! Didn't realize that the same ubuntu build can have so different results. Now I know which direction to look for problems. Thanks again.

Also, notice that it didn't create the container again. it just started a stopped one. you can try sudo docker-compose up --force-recreate
