Pumba Stress is not working as expected

[rantidev]

Hello Team ,

I was using pumba to inject cpu stress in docker containers and it was working perfectly fine.
curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock -H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{"Image": "gaiaadm/pumba","HostConfig": {
"Binds": [
"/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"
]
}, "Cmd": ["--log-level=info", "stress" ,"--duration=1m", "re2:^pg_"]}'
-X POST http://localhost/v1.37/containers/create

However when I use the above command now to stress the docker container getting below error :

docker logs -f 5ffef0aa421354a5c94f375c90da8fcb1fff33355277ad1dbd409429fe77bbae

@rantidev please provide more details about your runtime environment: OS, docker host, version, where you run pumba and target containers, etc. - everything that will help to reproduce the issue.
Please also add commands you are using to run the target container and the pumba container (docker commands and not curl)

@toky0 thank you. I will try to reproduce in a similar environment

Any update on this error?

[alexei-led]

Not yet. I think it's related to Linux distribution you are using and the cgroups package.

Can you try to run it on Ubuntu or Redhat LTS version?
