Fdb-joshua: unable to run docker container, on aws ec2 instance (ubuntu)

Development

I’m trying to setup and run the docker container for fdb-joshua in order to run their testing infrastructure: GitHub - FoundationDB/fdb-joshua: FoundationDB Correctness service

I’ve built their docker image via:

./build.sh

docker images are there from the ./build.sh file:

To start agents, I run:

sudo docker run --rm -v /home/ubuntu/fdb-6.3/build/fdb.cluster:/opt/joshua -it foundationdb/joshua-agent:latest

but I get this error:

docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: process_linux.go:545: container init caused: rootfs_linux.go:76: mounting "/home/ubuntu/fdb-6.3/build/fdb.cluster" to rootfs at "/opt/joshua" caused: mount through procfd: not a directory: unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type.

I’ve tried unmounting the volume from the image, but still getting the issue. Can someone help me with this? Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks!

It seems the error is complaining the mount path. Try to use /home/ubuntu/fdb-6.3/build/ instead. The idea is that /opt/joshua/fdb.cluster inside the docker points the cluster file.

inside the build.sh file, there is a env var, FDB_VERSION so we need to run the build like so:

./build.sh FDB_VERSION=6.3.21

then I was able to get the run my image:

docker run --rm --env FDB_CLUSTER_FILE=/opt/joshua/fdb.cluster -v /home/ubuntu/fdb-6.3/build/:/opt/joshua -it foundationdb/joshua-agent:latest
