Error running rkt on Chromebook

[trystant]

When trying to run rkt on the Chromebook, I run into the following error:

I'm not sure of the reasons for this, but I'll investigate.

anything new on this? i'm trying to run docker://opencpu/rstudio, and i get the same error.

mind you, this is my first try with rkt (i'm pretty familiar with docker) so it could be something else, but since you have the same error and it's recent...

@mlgrm Sorry but I didn't have much success with rkt. I got docker running on my Pixelbook though.

Separately, one other option to consider; upping the inotify watchers may help:

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

Try that out.

I‘m getting the same error on HP Chromebook x360 - 11-ae021nd and your inotify watchers hack doesn’t change the behavior.

However, as I’m using crouton, adding --net=host as suggested here in its project issue solved it.

In contrast, I had much less success using Docker until now.

In a world where a bunch of other issues are settled, I'd re-run this to see whether this exists on my Pixelbook. I'll hold on this until I get to retry this either in Crouton or in Crostini
