Docker compose containers fail and exit with code 127 missing /bin/env bash

Question

I'm new to Docker so bear with me for any wrong term.

I have Docker Tools installed on Windows 7 and I'm trying to run a Docker compose file of a proprietary existing project stored in a git repository and that has probably been only run on Linux.

These are the commands I ran:

1. docker-machine start
2. docker-machine env
3. @FOR /f "tokens=*" %i IN ('docker-machine env') DO @%i
   • this was output by step (2)
4. docker-compose -f <docker-file.yml> up

Most of the Docker work has gone fine (image download, extraction, etc).

It is failing at container start, where some containers run fine - I recognize a working MongoDB instance since its log doesn't report any error - but other containers exit pretty soon with an error code, i.e.:

frontend_1 exited with code 127

Scrolling up a bit the console, I can see lines like:

No such file or directoryr/bin/env: bash

I have no idea where to go from here. I tried launching composer from a CygWin terminal, but got the same result.

Answer 1

It turned out it was a matter of file line endings, caused by git clone, as pointed out by @mklement0 in his answer to env: bash\r: No such file or directory question.

Disabling core.autocrlf then recloning the repo solved it.
