An error occurred trying to connect: get http: / / var / run/ docker.sock/v1 .21/containers/json?all

start the container error An error occurred trying to connect: Get http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.21/containers/json?all

Internet search data three steps to solve:

  1. Stop docker daemon
  2. sudo rm/var/lib/docker/network/files/local – kv. Db
  3. Start docker daemon but failed to solve my problem.

    shows UUID when viewing dockre status:

    looking at the disk UUID found that there are fewer disks dm-0 or * than the normal container

    qian:/var/lib/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper # ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 100 Mar 30 19:13 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 100 Mar 14 09:56 ..

    check the container device PID, found and normal is not the same, normal is UUID, my display as PTUUID

    qian:/var/lib/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper # blkid /dev/mapper/docker-8\:3-126130724-pool 
/dev/mapper/docker-8:3-126130724-pool: PTUUID="d541fadc" PTTYPE="dos"

    at this point there is no way to continue to search for the cause, and I can confirm that the disk UUID associated with the container was indeed not found on my node.

    view the docker uuid associated in/var/lib/docker/devicemapper/metadata/deviceset – metadata file.

    my final solution is to delete the docker related folder /etc/docker /var/lib/docker reinstall docker…
