Running a golang container and mounting the docker socket fails with error code 255: $ docker run -ti -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock golang sh $ docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS…

Confirmed on my side as well: docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock ubuntu:14.04 echo hi || echo $? This will no-op and return a 255 error code. But if I don’t mount the Docker socket: docker run ubuntu:14.04 echo hi || echo $? This runs normally and prints “hi”.

If the Docker socket is mounted a container fails to start

This issue does not appear to be occurring for CircleCI containers using the Docker 1.10.0 beta configuration.
