@kanbekotori I see you’re using CentOS 7, SELinux is probably enabled, could you try using the --privileged flag?

$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name portainer portainer/portainer

Ok, let’s try something.

Edit the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service
Replace the line ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd with ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock
Restart Docker: systemctl restart docker

And try to redeploy Portainer with and without the --privileged flag.

I am running portainer in docker swarm and the host is centos where SELinux is enabled. Is there a workaround to get the privileged mode on or to get the docker endpoint work?
