docker on ubuntu 16.04 error when killing container

I can't kill or stop any docker container. I've allowed non-privileged users to run Docker commands. And docker run hello-world works fine. But I can't stop any other container.

I got following:

$ docker stop 59e3b815d1dc
Error response from daemon: cannot stop container: 59e3b815d1dc: 
Cannot kill container 59e3b815d1dcf2d8c8bcd3dd641c3c033b83ac68ea2f0257a32a76468af7374c: 
unknown error after kill: docker-runc did not terminate sucessfully: 
container_linux.go:393: signaling init process caused "permission denied"
: unknown

The same error with sudo. Meanwhile, all containers run successfully, but to stop them is possible only a full reboot of the system.

Docker compose example: # Use postgres/example user/password credentials version: '3.1'

services:

  db:
    image: postgres
    restart: always
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: example

  adminer:
    image: adminer
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:8080

For me removing the unknown from AppArmor works:

sudo aa-remove-unknown

AppArmor (Application Armor) is a Linux security module that protects an operating system and its applications from security threats. To use it, a system administrator associates an AppArmor security profile with each program. Docker expects to find an AppArmor policy loaded and enforced. Check default profiles with:

# sudo apparmor_status

To use docker default profile on a container, run:

$ docker run --rm -it --name test-container --security-opt apparmor=docker-default image-name

You disable it using the commands:

--security-opt apparmor=unconfined

With the docker run commands.

To disable apparmor service, use:

# systemctl stop apparmor && systemctl disable apparmor

For Ubuntu 14. Use:

# service apparmor stop
# update-rc.d -f apparmor remove

It’s recommended to set working profiles for Docker apparmor than disabling it, especially for production setups.

Check this awesome google document on Securing Containers with AppArmor.

https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/how-to/secure-apparmor

This command will stop all docker containers.

sudo killall docker-containerd-shim

This command will remove all docker containers.

sudo docker-compose down
