Docker container exits with code 139

[vkannemacher]

Hello,
I am facing an issue when i want to run a mysql container: I tried with the example command i found on the Docker hub:

docker run --name some-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -d mysql:5.6.24

docker ps -a

Shows that the container exited with code 139
mysql:5.6.24 "/entrypoint.sh mysq…" 13 seconds ago Exited (139) 12 seconds ago some-mysql

And i can't have a single line of logs: the return of the docker logs command is empty...

What do the docker logs show for the container?

I'm not able to reproduce the issue

$ docker run --name some-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -d mysql:5.6.24
d671a4fce32d58e1f6e74ed96bf6ea46404c3822213820f26a3189174c95265b

$ docker ps

Maybe your local copy is corrupted, you could try docker image rm mysql:5.6.24 and re-pulling it

Hi,
That is the problem: docker logs shows absolutely nothing...

docker run --name some-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -d mysql:5.6.24

Are you running on x86/amd64 architecture? That's the only one this image supports

[kwisatz]

I had the exact same behavior (error 139, no log output) for a mysql:5.5 image.
The only notable thing I did in between a working and a crashing container was to upgrade from Debian 9 to Debian 10. The mysql image was the only (so far) that stopped working.
rmiing the image, destroying the mysql container and then and pulling the image again solved my issue.

[vkannemacher]

Hi,
Destroying and pulling the image did nothing for me... I'm still stuck with the issue

[wglambert]

Are you using Docker for Windows/Mac or Linux Containers on Windows?

An Exited (139) is a segmentation fault so if it's not a corrupted download then there's some other environmental affect that's causing it, maybe even Apparmor or SELinux

[vkannemacher]

I am currently using Docker for Debian

[wglambert]

Yeah there isn't much more I can think of other than something odd in your environment affecting this.
And without a way to reproduce the issue I'd say you could try asking over at the Docker Community Forums, Docker Community Slack, or Stack Overflow

[enthusiasmus]

I also have this problem: exited with code 139 without any further logs. I try to upgrade to mysql 5.7.X, maybe this will resolve the error.

[tianon]

As mentioned above, this is likely environmental. One change between Debian 9 and 10 is the addition of AppArmor, so perhaps there's a new AppArmor policy causing trouble?

Closing since we cannot reproduce -- for further help/discussion, I'd suggest the Docker Community Forums, the Docker Community Slack, or Stack Overflow.

[HouaniFarah]

For me it was solved by updating the docker on my machine

[SylwesterZarebski]

It is very likely, that old glibc references are conflicting with new Debian 10 kernel, see workaround here:
docker/for-linux#58 (comment)

And kernel change is here:
