Additional context

Add any other context about the problem.

What is the . at the end of your command? renku session start doesn't take a path parameter. That maybe could explain the issue you're seeing.

We do allow setting --security-opt <option> for docker, but if that is not used, we don't set security_opt ourselves. It could be the command parsing library we use interprets the . as a security_opt by mistake.

Thanks @Panaetius sorry for putting this ., which is wrong syntax I have introduced. Now pulling fine with renku session start -p docker

Just reopening, actually I still get the same error message when running without .. There seems to be another issue, from the stack trace message it must be something related to security_opt.

[philipp-baumann]

For the record, I have added pipenv lock file for the local computational environment where I ran renku session start -p docker subcommand, if this helps in any case to diagnose further: https://renkulab.io/projects/philipp.baumann/applied-infrared-spectroscopic-modeling-workshop-for-soil-and-plant-diagnostics/files/blob/Pipfile.lock

I reopened the issue. Unfortunately, we probably won't get around to looking into it until after summer holidays season, as we're spread a bit thin right now. Sorry about that.

no rush though from my side. I do not necessarily need a local docker env. I am both familiar with RHEL and Ubuntu, so all fine. For the workshop, I am happy with storage and RAM on renku.
