config.json failed: no such file or directory

I get the following error in docker logs when I run the container

starting container failed: oci runtime error: container_linux.go:265: starting container process caused "chdir to cwd (\"/var/lib/ldap-account-manager/config\") set in config.json failed: no such file or directory"

Here is a stripped version of my compose configuration

  ldapaccountmanager:
    image: ldapaccountmanager/lam:stable
    volumes:
      - ${SHARED_FOLDER}/ldap/lam/etc:/etc/ldap-account-manager
      - ${SHARED_FOLDER}/ldap/lam/var:/var/lib/ldap-account-manager
    environment:
      - LDAP_DOMAIN=mydomain.com
      - LDAP_SERVER=ldap://ldap:389
      - LDAP_USER=cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=com
      - LAM_PASSWORD=password
      - LDAP_ORGANISATION=myOrg
      - LDAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD=mypass

I can reproduce the same issue if I mount the subfolders config and sess directly

    volumes:
      - ${SHARED_FOLDER}/ldap/lam/etc/:/etc/ldap-account-manager
      - ${SHARED_FOLDER}/ldap/lam/config/:/var/lib/ldap-account-manager/config
      - ${SHARED_FOLDER}/ldap/lam/session/:/var/lib/ldap-account-manager/sess

reprodution workflow:

• spawn the container on docker swarm with the volumes mounted to file system. (choose one of the configs provided above. SHARED_FOLDER can be an environment variable that targets any directory of your choosing)
• with docker service ps and docker service logs commands, diagnose the file config.cfg must be created

sed: can't read /etc/ldap-account-manager/config.cfg: No such file or directory

• use docker run and docker cp command to get the file from a fresh container that has no volume mounted. Put the file at ${SHARED_FOLDER}/ldap/lam/etc/config.cfg
• diagnose the error from docker service logs

sed: can't read /var/lib/ldap-account-manager/config/lam.conf: No such file or director

• use docker run and docker cp command to get the file from a fresh container that has no volume mounted. put the file at ${SHARED_FOLDER}/ldap/lam/config/lam.conf
• run the container again. notice with docker service logs that the container is running.
• try to access the container without success
• check docker logs to notice the error

starting container failed: oci runtime error: container_linux.go:265: starting container process caused "chdir to cwd (\"/var/lib/ldap-account-manager/config\") set in config.json failed: no such file or directory"

I noticed another user got a similar issue: #83

This looks more like a docker error. Maybe the volume folder does not exist?
Does this work for you?

Hi @gruberroland I tried mounting directly config and sess folders as suggested in the compose file you linked. I get the same issue. I edited my first message to try to give a better explanation of the reproduction workflow

I guess your folders ${SHARED_FOLDER}/ldap/lam/etc/ and ${SHARED_FOLDER}/ldap/lam/var are empty. This is an issue because then LAM cannot configure itself with defaults. Even the default templates are located in /var/lib/ldap-account-manager/config.

This means you need to

• run the instance with LAM_SKIP_PRECONFIGURE=false and without volumes
• copy over the /var/lib/ldap-account-manager/config folder to your ${SHARED_FOLDER}
• start the instance with the volumes
• same as above with /etc/ldap-account-manager/config.cfg

LAM uses a large set of config files that cannot be created from scratch in case the whole /var/lib/ldap-account-manager/config is empty. You can also extract the config folder from the tar.bz2 file.
