Description Jakub Filak 2018-09-11 20:24:57 UTC

Description of problem:
Folks, I am not sure what I am doing wrong (I don't expect you released a docker build without testing it) but when I publish a port using the parameter "-p SRC:DST" I get the following error:

exec: "docker-proxy": executable file not found in $PATH.

I fixed the problem by the following command:
ln -sf /usr/libexec/docker/docker-proxy-current /usr/libexec/docker/docker-proxy

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
docker-1.13.1-74.git6e3bb8e.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. docker run -it --rm -p 80:80 fedora /bin/bash

Actual results:
/usr/bin/docker-current: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint serene_easley (c52ba532ff76325d404769ea1b867f511d181b63f99b3a85388604deb8585595): exec: "docker-proxy": executable file not found in $PATH.

Expected results:
The container starts.

Additional info:
If I run the command again, I get the following message:
/usr/bin/docker-current: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint wonderful_goodall (6a1d68ab6e40e3526ddba91378741ff5efa69d25a9bde8748bb362b64942ce4b): Bind for 0.0.0.0:80 failed: port is already allocated.

Comment 2 Jakub Filak 2018-09-12 12:20:42 UTC

I found the root cause. Someone has created the machine with the file /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/lvm.conf which changes the option ExecStart.

Thank you Michal Minar <miminar>!

I apologize for the noise.

Hi Jakub,

How did you resolved the issue, Because i am facing the same issue.

Can you share the steps. You said the issue fixed with the file /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/lvm.conf

Since i am not seen any of the filename like you mentioned in my docker system.

Comment 4 Michal Minar 2019-07-24 07:25:22 UTC

Hi ArunRaja,

please check your system for modifications to docker service.
What is your docker version? Where is your docker-proxy binary located? e.g.:

  rpm -ql docker | grep proxy
  /usr/libexec/docker/docker-proxy-current

Does it exist on your system?

  [[ -e $(rpm -ql docker | grep proxy) ]] && echo exists || rpm -V docker

How is your docker daemon launched?

  systemctl show docker.service | grep ExecStart
  ExecStart={ path=/usr/bin/dockerd-current ; argv[]=/usr/bin/dockerd-current --add-runtime docker-runc=/usr/libexec/docker/docker-runc-current --default-runtime=docker-runc --authorization-plugin=rhel-push-plugin --exec-opt native.cgroupdriver=systemd --userland-proxy-path=/usr/libexec/docker/docker-proxy-current --init-path=/usr/libexec/docker/docker-init-current --seccomp-profile=/etc/docker/seccomp.json $OPTIONS $DOCKER_STORAGE_OPTIONS $DOCKER_NETWORK_OPTIONS $ADD_REGISTRY $BLOCK_REGISTRY $INSECURE_REGISTRY $REGISTRIES ; ignore_errors=no ; start_time=[Mon 2019-07-22 13:55:07 UTC] ; stop_time=[n/a] ; pid=25717 ; code=(null) ; status=0/0 }

If your --userland-proxy-path=/usr/libexec/docker/docker-proxy-current param looks different, check your config files related to docker for modifications. E.g.:

  cat /etc/sysconfig/docker*

  ls -l /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/

Comment 5 Andrew Wippler 2021-01-27 17:15:53 UTC

I was having the same docker-proxy error message as OP and a google search brought me here. 

In my instance, I overridden the ExecStart to include nvidia-container-runtime. My string did not include the --userland-proxy-path. Once I added it in, the error message went away.
