| OCP Container Not Ready | Container not ready for traffic | Initialization issues, readiness probe failures, dependency problems | Investigate initialization logs, check readiness probe settings, ensure dependencies are available |
| Docker Daemon Not Running | Docker commands fail | Docker service not started, crashes | Start Docker service, check daemon logs, restart Docker service |
| Image Not Found | Docker cannot find specified image | Image not available in registry, incorrect name/tag | Verify image name and tag, ensure image exists in registry, ensure proper authentication |
| Container Not Starting | Container fails to start | Configuration errors, missing dependencies, insufficient resources | Check container logs (docker logs <container_id>), verify configuration, ensure dependencies are available |
| Volume Mount Error | Error mounting volumes in Docker | Incorrect volume syntax, permission issues, invalid paths | Verify volume syntax, check file and directory permissions, ensure host paths exist and are accessible |
| Network Issues | Docker container network issues | Network misconfiguration, conflicting network names, network device issues | Check network settings, resolve conflicts, inspect network (docker network inspect <network_name>) |
| Permission Denied | Permission issues accessing files | Incorrect user permissions, SELinux/AppArmor restrictions, invalid path permissions | Adjust file permissions, configure SELinux/AppArmor properly, verify user access |
| Out of Memory (OOM) Error | Container killed due to memory | Insufficient memory allocation, memory leaks, resource limits exceeded | Increase memory limits, optimize application memory usage, monitor resources |
| Port Already in Use | Port conflict | Port conflict with another service or container, port already in use, incorrect port mapping | Use different ports, stop conflicting services, verify current port bindings |
| DNS Resolution Failure | Cannot resolve DNS names | Incorrect DNS settings, network issues, DNS server problems | Configure DNS settings, ensure network connectivity, check DNS server logs |
| Image Pull Rate Limit | Docker Hub rate limits | Exceeding the free tier limit on Docker Hub | Authenticate to Docker Hub, consider a paid plan for higher limits, use private registry |
deb.debian.org Timeout Error |
Timeout pulling packages | Network latency, server issues at deb.debian.org, outdated image base |
Update Node.js image, use alternative mirrors, increase timeout settings |
| Load Balancer 502 Bad Gateway | Bad gateway error from load balancer | Backend server down, incorrect backend configuration, timeout issues | Ensure backend servers are running and reachable, check load balancer and backend configurations, adjust timeout settings |
| Proxy Server 504 Gateway Timeout | Gateway timeout error from proxy | Slow backend server response, proxy server timeout settings, network latency | Ensure backend servers respond promptly, increase timeout settings on proxy server, optimize network latency |
| Proxy Server Authentication Error | Authentication failure with proxy | Incorrect credentials, proxy server misconfiguration, authentication method mismatch | Verify credentials, check proxy server settings, ensure client and proxy support the same authentication method |
