Docker start <container_name> returns "id already in use" #38346
Description
Description
docker start redis-server fails on this error message:
Error response from daemon: id already in use
Error: failed to start containers: redis-server
Notice I dont get "HASH is already in use" like in #36145. also the docker version here is 18.06
That container is stopped and not running. We run this command via SSH on an AWS instance which is stopped and started by demand.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
This bug happens occasionally so I didn't succeed reproducing it but the original flow was:
docker run -d -v /redis/redis.conf:/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf --restart on-failure:3 --name redis-server --publish 6379:6379 redis:3.0 redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf- stop redis container
- stop AWS instance
- start AWS instance
docker start redis-server
Describe the results you received:
Error response from daemon: id already in use
