hello, i can’t install docker with these guides: > **[Installation Options - Kong Gateway | Kong Docs](https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/install/)** > > Documentation for Kong, the Cloud Connectivity Company for APIs and Microservices. [https://hub.docker.com/\_/kong/](https://hub.docker.com/_/kong/) a few months ago, with kong 0.13.0 the containers installation was correct. Thanks for the answers ---

Please add more information: which steps did you follow, what was the expected result, and what did you receive instead. Also, note that the official docs for installing with Docker are inside the Kong docs page: - [https://docs.konghq.com/install/docker/](https://docs.konghq.com/install/docker/) ---

hi kikito: I execute: docker run -d --name kong-database -p 9042:9042 cassandra:3 docker run --rm -e “KONG\_DATABASE=cassandra” -e “KONG\_CASSANDRA\_CONTACT\_POINTS=kong-database” kong:latest kong migrations up docker run -d --name kong –network=kong-net -e “KONG\_DATABASE=cassandra” -e “KONG\_CASSANDRA\_CONTACT\_POINTS=kong-database” -e “KONG\_PROXY\_ACCESS\_LOG=/dev/stdout” -e “KONG\_ADMIN\_ACCESS\_LOG=/dev/stdout” -e “KONG\_PROXY\_ERROR\_LOG=/dev/stderr” -e “KONG\_ADMIN\_ERROR\_LOG=/dev/stderr” -e “KONG\_ADMIN\_LISTEN=0.0.0.0:8001, 0.0.0.0:8444 ssl” -p 8000:8000 -p 8443:8443 -p 8001:8001 -p 8444:8444 kong:latest but the kong conrainer don’t start. also with option docker network create kong-net Moreover i have try with the version 0.13, no latest kong:0.13.0 and 0.13.1 but the result is the same. i try this installation with docker-ce-18.06.0.ce-3.el7.x86\_64 in Centos 7, selinux disabled and docker 18.03.1-ce MAC OS Sierra 10.12.6 thank you ---

Hi, You didn’t mention when you created a kong net. This step is needed _before_ calling `docker run`: ```plaintext docker network create kong-net ``` Make sure you use the `--network=kong-net` option in _all_ the calls to `docker run`. In your example, the `kong-database` one does not have the option. > but the kong conrainer don’t start. Did you see any error message? You might be able to see them by executing ```plaintext docker logs kong ``` ---

Hi kikito, I had created de network at the begining. I have try to install with and without this option. docker don’t show any logs in Centos 7 in Mac osx show: 2018/07/25 11:54:44 [warn] You are using Cassandra but your ‘db\_update\_propagation’ setting is set to ‘0’ (default).

The error is clear in your logs: ```auto kong-database-test: host seems unhealthy, considering it down (host or service not provided, or not known) ``` Kong cannot reach the database (and the migration step probably failed as well). We also see in those logs that you seem to be using a different name that the one you created your database container with (kong-database-test vs. kong-database). So: 1. Make sure that you added the database container to the Docker network you defined 2. Make sure to add the ephemeral migrations container _and_ the Kong container to it as well 3. Make sure to use the proper name when referring to the database container in both of the above steps Let us know how it goes. ---

yes, you see “kong-database-test” because I have done several test but I use the proper name. how can I do a new install of kong 0.13? thanks ---

today i have tried a new install in ubuntu16 with docker 18 I put this commands: docker run -d --name kong-database -p 9042:9042 cassandra:3 docker run --rm –link kong-database:kong-database -e “KONG\_DATABASE=cassandra” -e “KONG\_PG\_HOST=kong-database” -e “KONG\_CASSANDRA\_CONTACT\_POINTS=kong-database” kong kong migrations up /usuario# docker run -d --name kong --link kong-database:kong-database -e “KONG\_DATABASE=cassandra” -e “KONG\_CASSANDRA\_CONTACT\_POINTS=kong-database” -e “KONG\_PROXY\_ACCESS\_LOG=/dev/stdout” -e “KONG\_ADMIN\_ACCESS\_LOG=/dev/stdout” -e “KONG\_PROXY\_ERROR\_LOG=/dev/stderr” -e “KONG\_ADMIN\_ERROR\_LOG=/dev/stderr” -e “KONG\_ADMIN\_LISTEN=0.0.0.0:8001” -e “KONG\_ADMIN\_LISTEN\_SSL=0.0.0.0:8444” -p 8000:8000 -p 8443:8443 -p 8001:8001 -p 8444:8444 kong but kong container don’t start, and there isn’t logs with this command: docker logs kong thanks ---

A good docker debug step is to jump into the container: You can start the kong container and hop into `/bin/sh` as follows: > docker run -d --name kong-database -p 9042:9042 cassandra:3 > > docker run -it --rm --link kong-database:kong-database -e KONG\_PG\_HOST=kong-database -e KONG\_CASSANDRA\_CONTACT\_POINTS=kong-database -e KONG\_DATABASE=cassandra kong /bin/sh > > kong migrations up > > kong start or in your example you could do the following > docker exec -it kong /bin/sh and then debug from there `ps aux` etc
