Cannot assign requested address with YugabyteDB and Docker Volume

Question

Problem when using yugabyte with persistence volume in docker. On first run everything work fine, but when re-create container with existing volume, it fail to start:

master.err :
./../src/yb/master/master_main.cc:131] Network error (yb/util/net/socket.cc:325): Error binding socket to 172.28.0.3:7100: Cannot assign requested address (system error 99)
    @          0x2938618  google::LogMessage::SendToLog()
    @          0x29394d3  google::LogMessage::Flush()
    @          0x29399cf  google::LogMessageFatal::~LogMessageFatal()
    @          0x2677cde  main
    @     0x7fb112f46825  __libc_start_main
    @          0x260802e  _start (edited) 

There is a yugabyted.conf in yb-data/conf with the ip is written there When we re-create container the container will get new ip but the ip in yugabyted.conf is old ip address of container

...
"advertise_address": "172.28.0.3", 
...

Answer 1

When starting with yugabyted, the directory set by --base_dir holds the configuration in conf/yugabyted.conf, and the data directory in data which is set by --fs_data_dirs when starting yb-master and yb-tserver.

If you want the data directory in the volume but not the configuration, you can set it with:

--tserver_flags=fs_data_dirs=/ybdata --master_flags=fs_data_dirs=/ybdata

and leave --base_dir within the container

Another possibility if you want the configuration in the external volume is to use a configuration that is not dependent on container addresses, like with:

--advertise_address=0.0.0.0

which will listen on all interfaces
