Unable to start squid on Ubuntu

[akash07k]

I'm trying to start the squid image directly from the docker-compose on my ubuntu server I'm getting the following errors:

Also, unable to run the image via docker run too. it continuously restarts and nothing happens. I can't even access the bash.

I have the same problem here. I run the container using docker-compose.

docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'

services:
  squid:
    image: sameersbn/squid:3.5.27-2
    container_name: "squid"
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "3128:3128"
    volumes:
      - /srv/squid/data/cache:/var/spool/squid

log:

$ docker-compose up

I found the problem. The reason was that the system didn't have a swap. I created a swap equal to twice the memory, and the container started successfully.
