Unable to do bash into influxDB docker container

1

$ sudo docker exec -it cf885f075056 /bin/bash
rpc error: code = 13 desc = invalid header field value “oci runtime error: exec failed: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused “exec: \”/bin/bash\”: stat /bin/bash: no such file or directory"\n"
-bash-4.2$

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

I use influxdb:1.2-alpine docker image and i see that it is FROM buildpack-deps:jessie-curl which is inherited from FROM debian:jessie. Hence it is a linux image

As @Deepak_Jain said there are different version of the InfluxDB image in Docker Hub.
Can you provide to us the pull command that you are using? Or better the image id?

I tried now with the influxdb:latest and as you can see bash works fine.

docker run -it --rm influxdb /bin/bash

If you are using alpine, it doesn’t have bash by default. You should use sh

10:07 $ docker run -it --rm influxdb:1.3.5-alpine /bin/sh

To have a better understanding we need to know what image you are using.
