[Bug]: stat: cannot statx '/var/run/docker.sock': No such file or directory

[avonian]

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

• I have checked the existing issues.

Describe the bug and reproduction steps

Running linux mint 22 and docker 27

When I start the container with the boilerplate instructions it works fine:

docker run -it --rm --pull=always \
    -e SANDBOX_RUNTIME_CONTAINER_IMAGE=docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.13-nikolaik \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    -e LOG_ALL_EVENTS=true \
    --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
    --name openhands-app \
    docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/openhands:0.13

but if i try to provide a working directory, i get the aforementioned error

here's how i'm doing it:

export WORKSPACE_BASE=/path/to/my/project

docker run -it --rm --pull=always \
    -e SANDBOX_USER_ID=$(id -u) \
    -e WORKSPACE_MOUNT_PATH=$WORKSPACE_BASE \
    -v $WORKSPACE_BASE:/opt/workspace_base \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    -e LOG_ALL_EVENTS=true \
    --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
    --name openhands-app \
    docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/openhands:0.13

any ideas what the problem might be?

Instead of

-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \

try with

-v //var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \

Worked for me.

If shaxxx's solution doesn't work, this may be a permission issue.
@shaxxx are you using linux as well?

[shaxxx]

No, but this workaround was needed to get it working in Docker terminal bash shell.
Otherwise, I would get exactly the same error

[avonian]

hi thanks for the tip

it seems if i include the -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock line it works, with or without //

as follows:

docker run -it --rm --pull=always \
    -e SANDBOX_USER_ID=$(id -u) \
    -e WORKSPACE_MOUNT_PATH=$WORKSPACE_BASE \
    -v $WORKSPACE_BASE:/opt/workspace_base \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    -e LOG_ALL_EVENTS=true \
    --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
    --name openhands-app \
    docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/openhands:0.13

however when it opens up it doesn't actually show the working directory, i get the "What do you want to build?" message

i can confirm echo $WORKSPACE_BASE outputs the correct path

[avonian]

so yea i cant open local working directory, and i also tried to open a repo via github at which point the IDE loaded and threw this error:

raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'docker'

seems similar to the original error

[mamoodi]

@avonian can you try this. After you set your WORKSPACE_BASE to a path you want.

docker run -it --pull=always \
    -e SANDBOX_USER_ID=$(id -u) \
    -e WORKSPACE_MOUNT_PATH=$WORKSPACE_BASE \
    -v $WORKSPACE_BASE:/opt/workspace_base \
    -e SANDBOX_RUNTIME_CONTAINER_IMAGE=docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.14-nikolaik \
    -e LOG_ALL_EVENTS=true \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
    --name openhands-app \
    docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/openhands:0.14
    ```

[mamoodi]

Also the initial "What do you want to build" will always show. Even if you specify a workspace.
You can just give it a prompt to go to the next page like "What python version is installed"

[avonian]

thanks again for the quick reply

i did as you suggested, and asked a question to open up the IDE, and the working folder is empty

either way appreciate everyones help here

[mamoodi]

Just want to make sure that when you provided WORKSPACE_BASE, you provided an absolute path that exists?

[avonian]

yep, absolute path, and when i do an echo it appears correctly, and i can cd to it exactly as its printed or by doing cd $WORKSPACE_BASE
