Resolving Error response from docker daemon - executable file not found in $PATH: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're developing with Docker and running .NET applications, you may encounter the error message:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

This error typically occurs when Docker cannot find the necessary executable to run your application within the container. In this guide, we will go through the solution to this problem, ensuring that your .NET application runs smoothly when contained inside Docker.

Understanding the Problem

When you receive this error, it indicates that:

The Docker image was successfully built, but

At runtime, Docker couldn't locate the dotnet executable needed to start your application.

Common Causes of the Error

Incorrect Base Image: The base Docker image may not include the .NET SDK/runtime needed to execute your application.

Improper Working Directory: The application files may not be correctly copied or located in the expected working directory.

Wrong Command Syntax: The command specified to launch the application might not be accurately defined in the Dockerfile.

The Solution: Modifying the Dockerfile

To resolve this error, we’ll modify the Dockerfile with the correct specifications necessary for running a .NET application.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Replace the Base Image: Use the .NET Core SDK image to ensure the necessary runtime and tools are included.

Original Dockerfile:

Directory Changes:

Create an app directory within the container for better organization and copying of files.

COPY Command: Make sure you accurately copy all required DLL and executable files into the /app directory.

WORKDIR Directive: Set the working directory to /app, ensuring that the container knows where to look for your executable.

ENTRYPOINT Command: Use ENTRYPOINT to specify the command that Docker should run when starting the container. This method allows you to pass any arguments easily.

Test Your Setup

After making these adjustments, you can rebuild your Docker image with the following command:
