@julian.bischof @metas-ts Hi guys, I am trying to install metashfresh docker on centos 7. My docker and docker-compose are running fine. I know system requirement for normal metasfresh installation is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (x86\_64) but I thought as long as you can have docker and docker-compose on any machine running metashfresh should be fine. I recieve the error below when i try to execute docker-compose up -d. Please let me know if you have any idea about how to fix this. > [root@hector metasfresh-docker]# docker-compose up -d > Creating metasfresh-docker\_search\_1 … > Creating metasfresh-docker\_rabbitmq\_1 … > Creating metasfresh-docker\_db\_1 … error > > ERROR: for metasfresh-docker\_db\_1 Cannot start service db: b’OCI runtime create failed: container\_linux.go:345: starting container process caused “process\_linux.go:430: container init caused \“rootfs\_linux.go:58: mounting \\\”/etc/timezone\\\” to rootfs \\\“/var/lib/docker/overlay2/c710d1abed5807414c3c445e37e305753d28d971658faec4b6adcafcbbd53d13/merged\\\” at \\\"/var/lib/docker/overlay2/c710d1abedCreating metasfresh-docker\_rabbitmq\_1 … error > e specified host path exists and is the expected type’ > > ERROR: for metasfresh-docker\_rabbitmq\_1 Cannot start service rabbitmq: b’OCI runtime create failed: container\_linux.go:345: starting container process caused “process\_linux.go:430: container init caused \“roCreating metasfresh-docker\_search\_1 … error > 2/e2db4639dd3a6cc61521f87b822759900be45b9932ef3971fb4a2d6dfb266bff/merged/etc/timezone\\\” caused \\\“not a directory\\\”\”": unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)?

hi, afaik this part in docker compose file might not work on non Ubuntu Distributions: ```auto - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro ``` @julian.bischof can you confirm ? cheers, Norbert ---

@rajan_jain As @metasnw said - some volume-mounts are not available for all distributions. In your case, it looks like `/etc/timezone` does not exist on the dockerhost. You should be able to start your docker-compose project by commenting out/removing the lines containing `/etc/timezone`. You can leave in `/etc/localtime`. Cheers. ---

@metasnw @julian.bischof Thanks a lot guys… yeah I removed this /etc/timezone from docker-compose.yml and everything seems fine now. Thanks
