how to solve Docker issue Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

Question

I have been trying to run this command:

root@mytest:/Linux_Insight_Agent# systemctl start ir_agent.service

But it gives me this error:

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

Answer 1

The issue is happening because Systemctl will talk to systemd daemon by making the use of d-bus, but inside your container systemd daemon is not present . So what you are doing will not give you what you are exactly looking for. You need to have a longer dev-mapping

OR you need to just entirely avoid using systemd daemon by making use of docker-systemctl-replacement script. This will overwrite default systemctl.
