Mongo: Mongo wont start, Centos 7 and chown: changing ownership of '/dev/stdout': Permission denied errors

Created on 22 Mar 2017 · 8Comments · Source: docker-library/mongo

When I run the following command on a CentOS 7 machine as root:
$ docker run --name some-mongo -d mongo
I get the following error:
docker logs
chown: changing ownership of '/dev/stdout': Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of '/dev/stderr': Permission denied

I could not find any solution for this. Or why this is happening.

I disabled SELinux and works here!

I also am having the same problem with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.3 (Maipo).

I'm also seeing it.

RHEL 7 (Maipo)
Docker 17.03.0-ce
Kernel 3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64
tried using older images (3.2, 3.0) but they fail the same way
other containers run just fine
running as non-root user that is a member of the docker group
did a yum update which brought in a new SE Linux policy and that didn't correct things.

gustavofc's fix is working for me.

I used these directions to disable SELinux and the MongoDB containers starts for me.

This is a bizarre one. :disappointed:

https://github.com/docker-library/mongo/pull/151 should help!

I am having this same problem also, is this already in the latest mongo images? It seems that docker is still getting the image without this fix. Thanks.
