Hi @candysmurf

What operating system are you on? Are you on Windows?

[candysmurf]

@pawanrawal, I'm using MacOS Sierra. Version 10.12.6. Thanks for your quick response.

[pawanrawal]

I have seen a similar issue on Windows but seems like the issue is not OS specific and is related to Docker (though I can't reproduce it on MacOS Yosemite). I am investigating this. In the mean time, you could install the binaries directly to try out Dgraph.

@pawanrawal, thanks for your quick help. Yes, I'm trying it out.

[pawanrawal]

@candysmurf Does the binary work for you?

Also it should work if directory is not mounted.

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -p 9080:9080 --name dgraph dgraph/dgraph dgraph --bindall=true --memory_mb 2048

@candysmurf
It's slow if we use a shared directory between host and container. The recommended way is to use docker data volumes. I have updated the docs for the same.
https://docs.dgraph.io/master/get-started/#on-non-linux-distributions.

https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs-caching/

You shouldn't get the error if you are using data volumes.

Closing this for now. Let us know if there's more we can do here.

I had the same error with docker-compose (version 1.17.1) on Windows 10. Using volumes resolved this. Here is the Compose configuration that worked for me:
