[Solved] Docker won't start any container with containerd 1.4.0-1

I updated containerd from 1.3.4-2 to 1.4.0-1, and docker (1:19.03.12-2) won't start any container anymore.

# docker run --rm -it archlinux bash
docker: Error response from daemon: ttrpc: closed: unknown.

After I downgrade containerd to 1.3.4-2, docker is working fine.

But I can't find any related bug report. Could anyone reproduce this problem?

+1
Cleared cached packages, so now looking for the way to downgrade.

We can use Arch Linux Archive.

Sheraff you will find containerd archive packages here: Archive Containerd

In the future if you have the same problem then go to Arch Archive Packages and navigate to your package by the name.

Ok, thanx guyz.
There's certainly an issue with a newer version of containerd.

Ran into the same issue yesterday had to revert using the archive. Deiced to check if the issue was fixed and it seems to be now.

After removing the archive I did a "pacman -Syyuu" and got "containerd 1.4.0-2" update and now all seems to be fine. Tested on two separate machines

Thanks. I updated containerd to 1.4.0-2 and solved this problem. Maybe my mirror is just out-of-sync.

I was having weird issues with a couple of containers.  The Plex container wouldn't even stop properly.  I was on 1.4.0-2.  I downgraded to 1.3.4-2 and everything is back to normal now.  Just saying, the problem might not be fixed for everyone yet.

Same here. On containerd-1.4.0-2 all containers that has healthchecks are reporting "unhealthy" and I can't start/stop/restart/do anything with them. Reboot solves it for some time, but after a while (maybe 2 hrs) it happens again.
Only downgrade helps. The problem is NOT solved for some users, apparently.

I just confirmed, that I see the same behaviour with the binaries from github. So this is not a problem of the Arch package.

Instead of rebooting I have been killing the left over container-shim processes.

Re: [Solved] Docker won't start any container with containerd 1.4.0-1

Did anybody report the remaining issue upstream?

Re: [Solved] Docker won't start any container with containerd 1.4.0-1

Submitted bug report to containerd upstream.

Mods, I'd suggest breaking out this topic starting here, as it is a different issue than the OP. Thanks!
