Docker-openvpn: Error When Running ovpn_genconfig

[wilbertliu]

Hello 👋🏻,

I was trying to run this command :

sudo docker run -v $OVPN_DATA:/etc/openvpn --rm kylemanna/openvpn ovpn_genconfig -u udp://0.0.0.0

But got this error :

docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:402: container init caused \"process_linux.go:385: running prestart hook 0 caused \\\"fork/exec /usr/bin/dockerd (deleted): no such file or directory\\\"\"": unknown.
ERRO[0000] error waiting for container: context canceled

Do you have any idea why was this happening? I can't continue to further steps, the error is always there.

P.S : I've checked whether /usr/bin/dockerd doesn't exist, but it exists.

Something similar happened to me on a totally different docker image. Seems it may have been caused by me doing updates on my workstation, which may have updated docker. I didn't have to reboot to fix, I just had to restart my docker service (systemctl restart docker) and then I was able to run the container without the above error.
