Error response from daemon: path /your/host/path/mnt is mounted on / but it is not a shared mount.#

From the host OS, enter sudo mount --make-rshared /

Or if using a NAS device sudo mount --make-rshared /volume1/

If neither of the above resolves the error, ensure that docker is not installed via snap. Install docker via apt.

Note

sudo mount --make-rshared does not persist reboots, so it will need to be run each time WSL2 or Windows is restarted. Alternatively, see the below guide for automatically executing the command on startup for Ubuntu.

Ubuntu systemd service:#

To make Ubuntu run a command like sudo mount --make-rshared / on startup, you can use a systemd service unit that executes this command at boot.

Systemd is a system and service manager for Linux operating systems, which allows you to specify custom startup tasks through service units.

Here's how you can do it:

Create a systemd service file:#

First, you need to create a new systemd service file. You can do this by creating a file in the /etc/systemd/system directory. Let's call this file make-rshared.service.

Open a terminal and use your favorite text editor to create this file. You'll need sudo privileges to create a file in this directory. For example, using nano:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/make-rshared.service

Add the following contents to the service file:

[Unit]
Description=Make root filesystem rshared
After=local-fs.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/mount --make-rshared /
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enable and start the service:#

After saving the file, you need to reload the systemd daemon to recognize your new service and then enable the service to start on boot:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable make-rshared.service
To start the service immediately without rebooting, you can use:

sudo systemctl start make-rshared.service

Verify the service is active:#

After rebooting or starting the service, you can check its status to ensure it's active and has run successfully:

sudo systemctl status make-rshared.service
