Docker appliance fails to start

[lparsons]

Running boot2docker and docker v1.7.0 I get the following error:

$ docker run -p 8010:80 -p 9009:9009 -v `pwd`:/opt/galaxy/tools -i -t planemo/interactive

Note: This works fine when I do not mount a directory: docker run -p 8010:80 -p 9009:9009 -i -t planemo/interactive

Today, I experienced very similar behavior when running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, i.e.:

# docker run -p 8010:80 -p 9009:9009 -v `pwd`:/opt/galaxy/tools -i -t planemo/interactive

As for @lparsons, this does not occur to me when I do not mount a directory:
docker run -p 8010:80 -p 9009:9009 -i -t planemo/interactive

@lparsons @jmchilton I think that I just found a workaround. Start the container with

$ sudo docker run --rm -p 8010:80 -p 9009:9009 -v `pwd`:/opt/galaxy/tools -t -i planemo/interactive bash -c "export TERM=xterm; /bin/bash"

and then, within the interactive session, run the command

root@442926bf8101:/tmp/ansible# /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/supervisord -c /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
