Getting Docker to work First Try

jumpsmm7 · July 16, 2022, 4:24pm

So I have an openwrt X86/64 router. I am trying to run a docker container. However I am having two stumbling blocks after installing docker.

Using default tag: latest
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

and when I try to compose:

What am I doing wrong?

If docker ps doesn't return anything, you need to start it first with service docker start

jumpsmm7 · July 16, 2022, 7:03pm

service docker start
Usage: service <service> [command]
Service "docker" not found, the following services are available:

and

 opkg install docker

psherman · July 16, 2022, 9:53pm

What is in line 1 of the docker config file?

jumpsmm7 · July 16, 2022, 10:50pm

I am assuming you are talking about the /etc/config/dockerd?

# The following settings require a restart of docker to take full effect, A reload will only have partial or no effect:
# bip
# blocked_interfaces
# extra_iptables_args
# device

config globals 'globals'
#       option alt_config_file '/etc/docker/daemon.json'
        option data_root '/opt/docker/'
        option log_level 'warn'
        option iptables '1'
#       list hosts 'unix:///var/run/docker.sock'
#       option bip '172.18.0.1/24'
#       option fixed_cidr '172.17.0.0/16'
#       option fixed_cidr_v6 'fc00:1::/80'
#       option ipv6 '1'
#       option ip '::ffff:0.0.0.0'
#       list dns '172.17.0.1'
#       list registry_mirrors 'https://<my-docker-mirror-host>'
#       list registry_mirrors 'https://hub.docker.com'

# Docker ignores fw3 rules and by default all external source IPs are allowed to connect to the Docker host.
# See https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables/ for more details.
# firewall config changes are only additive i.e firewall will need to be restarted first to clear old changes,
# then docker restarted to load in new changes.
config firewall 'firewall'
        option device 'docker0'
        list blocked_interfaces 'wan'
#       option extra_iptables_args '--match conntrack ! --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED' # allow outbound connections

which is the default config.

Whatever the issue maybe, it appears to be caused from the dockerd package itself.

jumpsmm7 · July 17, 2022, 1:32am

I guess it is just not going to work.

I uninstalled and reinstalled separately. I still get the same error when dockerd is installed.

Edit /etc/config/dockerd and remove line 1, then try to restart the service.

jumpsmm7 · July 17, 2022, 4:06pm

Nice suggestion, but not the solution. What actually worked was

opkg remove docker luci-app-dockerman docker-compose dockerd --autoremove --force-remove

and manual reinstall doing

opkg install docker luci-app-dockerman docker-compose dockerd --force-maintainer
