Docker - Security

You run docker secret create mysecret secret.txt but get an error: Error: secret file secret.txt not found. What is the most likely cause?

AThe secret already exists

BThe file <code>secret.txt</code> does not exist in the current directory

CDocker daemon is not running

DYou used the wrong secret name

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the error message
The error says the file secret.txt was not found, meaning Docker cannot locate the file to create the secret.
Step 2: Identify the cause
This usually means the file is missing or the path is incorrect. The file secret.txt does not exist in the current directory matches this cause. Other options do not relate to file not found errors.
Final Answer:
The file secret.txt does not exist in the current directory -> Option B
Quick Check:
File missing = secret create error [OK]

Quick Trick: Check file path exists before creating secret [OK]
