Navcontainerhelper: Error response from daemon: No such container

[RafaelKoch]

Hi Freddy,

I am trying to prepare some script using the navcontainerhelper. When I try to run this

$NAV_DOCKER_IMAGE = "microsoft/dynamics-nav:devpreview-finus"
$containername = "devpre112017con"
$LicenseFile = 'SOMEPATHTOSOMELICENSE'


New-NavContainer `
    -accept_eula `
    -containerName $containername `
    -imageName $NAV_DOCKER_IMAGE `
    -Credential (get-credential -credential $env:USERNAME) `
    -auth Windows `
    -memoryLimit 3G `
    -shortcuts Desktop `
    -alwaysPull `
    -includeCSide `
    -Verbose `
    -licenseFile $LicenseFile`

I get this error output:

What did I do wrong?

[Koubek]

Could you try to shorten the container name (eg: put less than 10 chars)?

[freddydk]

Are you running Windows 10?
I tried your exact command under Windows Server 2016 - it works here.
what does
docker ps -a
return?
Also - try to use a shorter name - not sure whether this is the issue - maybe Windows 10 has different name requirements as Windows Server

[freddydk]

Maybe the container is there.
try docker logs devpre112017con now?
It looks like it fails immediately - and maybe the 2 seconds it waits after doing Docker run is not enough - maybe the contianer is not ready for docker logs yet.
I will insert a test-navcontainer before calling docker logs in the wait.

[RafaelKoch]

EDIT: wow, THAT was a quick reply both of You

• The Container is not created. docker container ls -a -> all empty
• Using a Shorter Name pre112017 -> same error
• I am running Windows 10. I Can successfully deploy using docker commands directly w/o containerhelper
• docker ps -a -> no containers found

All said I think trying a longer wait would be worth a try

[freddydk]

Very strange... If the wait was the problem, then the container would be there.
I would like to investigate this - if you have the time, shoot me an email and we can setup a skype for business call?

[freddydk]

We just had a troubleshooting session and found out, that the navcontainerhelper doesn't support spaces in usernames - and maybe the nav container also don't.
I will check up on this.

[freddydk]

navcontainerhelper 0.2.1.1 is on the PowerShell Gallery and supports spaces in usernames.
The Nav on Docker already did support this (as far as I have tested)

[RafaelKoch]

Tried the bugfix today, looking good now
