Root Cause
The specified CMD or ENTRYPOINT binary does not exist in the container.
genericWorkarounds
-
93% success Check that CMD/ENTRYPOINT binary exists in the image: docker run --entrypoint sh image -c 'which binary'
Verify the binary is installed and in PATH
-
91% success Use full path in CMD/ENTRYPOINT or ensure PATH is set correctly in Dockerfile
CMD ["/usr/local/bin/app"] instead of CMD ["app"]
Dead Ends
Common approaches that don't work:
-
Reinstalling Docker
90% fail
The issue is with the image, not Docker itself
-
Switching to a different Docker version
85% fail
The binary is missing from the image, not a Docker engine issue
