Puppet in Docker docker Error response from daemon Container command opt puppetlabs bin puppet not found or does not exist

Question

I get the following error on running the command:

docker run ubuntu /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet resource package

Here's the Error:

docker: Error response from daemon: Container command '/opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet' not found or does not exist..

Can somebody help me in resolving this?

Answer 1

This error indicates that probably there is an issue with your puppet installation on a docker container.

Do ensure that puppet is properly installed in the docker container.

If you are mounting puppet in a volume that could be accessed by any docker container without having to explicitly install it, then cross check if that volume is properly mounted.

This might sometimes occur because you are trying to run puppet without mounting the volume containing puppet software.

Hope this should help!
