Troubleshooting
Problem
Docker is unable to start containers on Linux:
Cannot start service <container_name>: oci runtime error: container with id exists: {container_id}
For example:
ERROR: for share-app Cannot start service share-app: oci runtime error: container with id exists: 30dcc8af9b9dc112ff1db6cac13f1e29e6b113892582ae07bc562b9b8efaf554
Starting bss ... error
Cause
Docker daemon crashed for some reason, and left some temporary files behind.
Resolving The Problem
If Linux cannot be rebooted or if rebooting is not sufficient, then remove remaining containers from /run/runc and /run/containerd, for example:
rm -rf /run/runc/30dcc8af9b9dc112ff1db6cac13f1e29e6b113892582ae07bc562b9b8efaf554
rm -rf /run/containerd/30dcc8af9b9dc112ff1db6cac13f1e29e6b113892582ae07bc562b9b8efaf554
