[chef] Chef-Container Unable to determine node name

["Johnson, Austin" < >]

Hello all,

I’ve been trying to get chef-container to produce a container with a custom nginx cookbook. I began with the  chef/centos-7 image, added a few dependencies (openssl wget net-tools make automake bison gcc gcc-c++ unzip), and then committed those change to a new base image. 

From there I did a knife container docker init  followed by a knife container docker build and successfully made a new container. However when I try to run the container it seems to be failing. The following is the output of the docker run –it frontend/nginx —verify  :

S-C02NC26AG3QN:chef-repo user$ docker run -it frontend/nginx --verify

Could anyone help point me in the right direction to start debugging this problem?
