Docker stats inside incus container doesn't give any information

Incus
1

Anyone know how to get ‘docker stats’ giving me usefull information when running from inside an incus container? docker containers runs fine, but I don’t get any docker performance statistics?

When I run ‘docker stats’ inside an incus container all I get is:

Anything specific to your Incus container?
I am able to see the value for docker stats on my end.

3

Not that I am aware off. It’s running in privileged mode and has security.nesting set to true…anything else needed?

4

which distro is running in the Incus container?

5

Thanks for the hint! I am running alpine as incus container and apparently I need something more in there than the bare minimum because when running a debian container with docker it works indeed…

Aside: you shouldn’t need to set security.privileged to run docker. I use:

security.nesting=true security.syscalls.intercept.mknod=true security.syscalls.intercept.setxattr=true

I know, but needed some host bind mounts to have same uid/gid permissions set as on he host. Not sure if that could be more smart, but making it privileged was the easiest :wink:
