Running a docker image on Windows gives the error oci runtime error exec bash executable file not found in PATH

Question

I'm running Docker toolbox on Windows

I've built an image which works properly on my Mac OS but gets bugged on Windows.

When I create a machine and try to run the container from image, I do:

docker run -it myRepo:myTag bash

which gives me the following error:

"Error response from daemon: oci runtime error: exec: "bash": executable file not found in $PATH."

I use the MINGW64 shell.

Does anyone have a soln to this?

Thank you in advance.

I also use MINGW64. This is what I get using nginx as example:

  $docker run -it nginx bash
  cannot enable tty mode on non tty input

I can’t seem to open tty using MINGW64.

But try this:

  $docker run -i nginx bash
  ls
  bin

Just run ls and it should work inside your container.
