[SOLVED] Docker container would not start after upgrading Proxmox VE 8.1 to 8.2 with "OCI runtime create failed"

[Behrouze]

Hi everyone !

After upgrading Proxmox VE 8.1 to 8.2, some of my docker containers running on LXC failed to start.

Here is the message I had when trying to `docker start` a container :

docker start portainer_agent
Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error jailing process inside rootfs: pivot_root .: permission denied: unknown
Error: failed to start containers: portainer_agent

As I shared on Reddit here this issue arises when you have an "old" docker install (docker versions > 25 are running without problem), so to solve this problem, just upgrade the docker you have installed on your LXC (here for Ubuntu, and here to choose for other distros).

Cheers

You are a lifesaver I've been trying to figure this out for two days and have also had performance hits on ctx/docker instances across the board. I've using debian ctx so a little different but meh... thank you very very very much!
