    I, as many OH users regularly destroy my files and crash my system due to testing and playing and learning.
    I have tried to pull/run docker openhab/openhab many times, it gets to “Launching openhab runtime:” and ends.
    I have followed the docs by the letter and read the docs repeatedly to see if I have done something wrong.
    I have used the docker provided “Hello-World” after each docker install with success.
    Where do I go from here?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve

I’m sorry Bruce,
Its my first time posting a new topic.
I am sorry it had to be posted one more time.
I have never seen that thread and did not relate code fencing and my post.
but I have it up and am reading through it now.
Thank you again
Steve-

8

BTW, I did not post any coding.
I copied from the docker run command from putty and the docker distro process and pasted it to where it locks up.

9

Code fences make configuration and logs more readable. Most people will not look at a long wall of text like you posted.
Code fences also keep spacing, which is important in configuration.

10

I can understand that.
maybe docker is just not in my openhab future. LOL
your the best my friend.
Always grateful to you for helping so many of us noobs.
Steve-

11

Has anyone ever used docker pull/run openhab/openhab successfully?

12

You mean pulling an image from docker hub? Trying to understand what docker pull/run means.

13

I mean I have no problem pulling the docker container openhab/openhab.
I have no success docker run openhab/openhab.
Sorry again for the lack of clarity

14

It won’t expose a port for you to connect this way. Try adding --net=host like in the documentation:

15

I am a docker newbie and have not used it much. No need to apologize.

16

As wborn points out, you are missing a ton of command line arguments to the docker run command. You need to set up the networking (–net=host) possible pass in access to hardware like zwave dongle, and mount it set up data volumes to persist your config from one run to the next.

The full set of arguments recommended are on the dockerhub page.

Many of us successfully run in Docker, though if you are running OH on an RPi, the benefits of doing so are not so great.

17

Ok…
So I tried including all of the arguments, at least what I could comprehend.
still locks up at launching runtime.
I’m sure my code is still not correct.
I am going to take @rlkoshak advice and for the moment just go with no docker.
I pretty much burned myself out on it for this fine day.
Thank you ALL so much for your insight and valuable time and effort in not just me but EVERYONE.
What a awesome forum this is and we are very fortunate.
